The reason our self ego does not like kindness is because it puts our sinful nature out of business.

Positive Power Card; The reason our ego does not like kindness is because it (kindness) puts it (our ego) out of business

Pulling two cards with the same theme is questionable, It was chance most of us ( or is it them?.) would say!

I, however (and you?), as children of GOD, believe otherwise!? Are we not children of the light? Do we not always depend of GOD? 1Ti 4:10 Certainly, we work hard and struggle to live a godly life, because we place our confidence in the living God. He is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

So yes, I believe it is not chance, it is the Holy Spirit's way to guide me to to bring another view including the fruit of kindness!

I started by finding synonyms for "ego" = "self" = "nature" "sinful nature".

I could however, as part of my spiritual translation also find the following synonyms for "ego' = "self" = "nature" = "nature of Christ"

Nature of Christ
Joh 3:3 KJV
(3)
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus comes to Jesus by night and the phrase born of water and the Spirit refers to spiritual birth, which cleanses Believers from sin and brings spiritual transformation and renewal.

As you already know, I was really really enlightened by the "Kruisigings Seminaar' that I attended and in which I have really got to the realization of who I am as a reborn child of GOD, having received a Nature of Jesus Christ.

To be reborn means a new life, a new ID in Jesus Christ, me in Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ in me.
In Greek "life" can be translated into "Bios", Psuge" and 'Zoe" as follows;

"Bios" refers to the physical body. It refers to the working of the body's organs and as such the physical endurance of the body. If an organ(s) stops operating, then the "bios" is removed from the body and we then die.

"Psuge" refers to the soul. The word means to exist through thinking, feeling and decisions. This then relates to a persons consciousness.

The "Bios" and " Psuge" is the life we receive by physical birth.

"Zoe" means in fact a life through God. When Christ said He is the life, He gives you life; then Zoe life is meant. Zoe life is thus the life of Christ, it is His character, it is His nature, it is His manner of living. It is this Zoe life that a Believer receives when we are spiritually reborn; Zoe life is the spiritual nature we receive, Zoe life is the Nature of Christ in us;

A Believer thus exist in "body and soul" (sinful nature) and the Spirit ( Nature of Christ), the two of these natures is then divided by the cross, by Jesus Christ, By our Saviour, by the grace of GOD and supported by the Holy Spirit.
Act 2:38 GW
(38) Peter answered them, "All of you must turn to God and change the way you think and act, and each of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins will be forgiven. Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift.

The Holy Spirit operates in our soul. The Holy Spirit guides us towards the Spirit's nature i.e guides us towards the nature of Christ. The Holy Spirit manages our sinful conscience, checks our sinful physical doings i.e. hearing, words, actions etc.

Sinful Nature

Remember yesterday?

Kindness is on of the spiritual fruits that you can build on, and it is a fruit that takes a lot of work. It is easy to be kind to those you like and those who like you. Yet are you willing to put your own contempt aside to help someone that has not been kind in return? Jesus tells us that we are to show mercy to all...not just the people we like.

Just to remind you how I started this translation; I started by finding synonyms for "ego" = "self" = "nature" "sinful nature".

Is it then not logical that "The reason our (self) ego does not like kindness is because it (kindness) puts it (our sinful nature) out of business.
* ego = nature = sinful nature

My Spiritual translation
The reason our self* ego does not like kindness is because it puts our sinful nature** out of business.
* ego = self
**ego = nature = sinful nature
