Be silly, be honest, be kind. this was a quote stated by Maya Angelou. Is this quote helpful in real life?

Being silly, for me, this thing can’t be that useful. But being silly sometimes can be a good thing, taking everything seriously can cause stress and ruin my day. So being sill can be a solution for that, it can help me control my vibes and rise up my energy, which can also affect other people's vibes positively.

Added to that, being honest is the most important thing for me. There is a quote that says “Honesty is more than not lying. It is truth-telling, truth speaking, truth living, and truth-loving”. Also, being honest even when you do a mistake is more important than being honest about other things, simply because being honest when you make mistake will get you respect from all the people around you.

Being kind is like a coin, it has two faces, a good and a bad one. Kindness is something that you have to always show to elders, family members, and ‘maybe’ your closest friends. Being kind is the simplest way to be loved by everyone.

Actually, the reason that made me say ‘maybe’ is because showing kindness and being kind to people is not always good for you, you have to know to whom you can be kind and when to be kind. Because there are people that can take advantage of your kindness and use it against you, maybe to hurt you. MAKE SURE TO BALLANCE YOUR KINDNESS!

Finally, try to be silly sometimes, try to be honest all the time, and try to be kind on the right time with the right people.
