Kindness stems from the capacity to appreciate and respect others’ humanity, with all their trials and tribulations, pain and hardship, fears, battles and challenges, of which we know little about. On our journey of self-understanding, trying to gauge the meaning of existence, we couldn’t possibly understand the motivations, blindspots and quirks that make others appear to us in a particular way. Given this lack of insight, the highest path we can travel in our dealings with others is the path of kindness, for in so doing, we realize a huge personal benefit: Our kindness…
Affects us first.
