Life is kind but not fair. One can only agree based on experiences.

I would say life is indeed kind. The bad experience of life can be a teacher to help you acknowledge the positive things in the future.

Life is kind, and also not kind. Some people feels cursed. Why? The bad times in their life is more than good times. Nothing ever went right. They just have to keep struggling. And for others, it’s just so easy. Life is just what it is.

I would say life is in kind because through those good and bad experiences we get to learn and become better individuals. I for one believe that life should be more sorrowful than joyful becauss thats where most lessons come from and through those times when you make mistakes you learn what works and whay doesn't.

"Life is not a bed of Roses" is one of my favorite quotes. Yes Life can be kind, it can also be frustrating. I do agree on the author's views that Life is a mainly a product of our mindset. And yes, our mindset can affect how we live our life.

I believe life is entirely what we have created as individuals, groups, Mankind, and spiritual beings. Furthermore, our viewpoint and consideration about life, or any aspect of it, allows us to experience life as benevolent, cruel, unfair, happy, etc. Life is not a "thing" that watches or has feelings such as benevolence.

So, according to my understanding, life should go on as we expect it to -- favourably. But that is not how life works. It has many positive aspects that we enjoy, as well as numerous negative aspects that we do not enjoy or desire.

Can we truly say that life is kind?

Your take on this matter is very enlightening, life is continually watching us. Therefore, life throws at us, everything that will nurture us. But sometimes, we humans are so stubborn that there is no other way of learning but through suffering. And even if the medicine seems far worse than the sickness, life never puts an event in our path that we cannot endure. So no, life is not benevolent but it is favorable.

Life on its own is benevolent but not 100% of the time. One's approach toward the good and bad times can determine how strong we are in some situations.

I believe life is spontaneous. It can't be controlled, but you can decide how it chooses to affect you and your beliefs. For some, it's so easy while for others, it is a rollercoaster of terrible events. It gets better when you agree that the bad events are just lessons to be learnt.

I do agree that Life is benevolent and kind. We should moreover be kind to ourselves and to others.

I truly believe that life is kind, especially when we look at one of the basic definitions of the word.
Kind, as a noun, refers to things that have the same character or are of the same sort. If you are benevolent, if you are living life as a maestro, wouldn't it follow logically that life would then also be benevolent?

I don't think I agree with this. Equal opportunities are not provided at all to everyone. Some have life a bit easy while some do not. In the cases of people who do not have it easy, it can be seen that life is not kind.

If it weren't for negativity, we wouldn't know what positivity is, so while the circle of life doesn't always do us well, it definitely means well.

Life is kind, but it isn't always fair. In life, we experience both happy and bad times in unequal proportions. If the bad outweighs the good, you'll most likely think life is unjust. You will consider your life to be fair if the good outweighs the bad.
