"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." -PlatoI love these because in them we see that an act of kindness is a reflection of what is in our hearts. We are kind when we are acknowledge people's struggles.. when we give them a helping hand.. when we believe the best about them.. when we listen.. when we get past our dislikes.. and when we let go of our needs to meet the need of another.
"Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up." -Jesse Jackson
"I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble." -Rudyard Kipling
"There is no greater loan than a sympathetic ear." -Frank Tyger
"Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not." -Samuel Johnson
"The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people halfway." -Henry Boye
How about you? What do you think kindness looks like?
Some of these are platitudes Bob, but I live by this one - "I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble." -Rudyard Kipling - Dave
