Kindness is a wonderful thing. And I think it's often under-rated. There's a saying "kindness is it's own reward". And that is so true. Being kind to others makes us feel good about ourselves.

And yet, it's often really hard to be kind! And it's not always possible either - or even desirable.

At any rate, I can relate to what you say here! I would like to be kinder also. And I think that just focusing on the goal of kindness is a great place to start. There are so many opportunities every day for us to practice acts of kindness. But if we're not even thinking about doing that then we'll miss them.

This topic has really helped me to focus more on the importance of kindness. Thank you for starting it! It was very kind of you (((((((((opaquemind)))))))))
