Make life a little better

Your kindness benefits others. In many cases, your kindness benefits you even more.

You can be kind to those with whom you disagree. You can be kind to those who are often the source of frustration.

Particularly in such situations, kindness works to your great advantage. Because it keeps the pain of anger away from your heart.

Not a loud, showy imitation, but simple, genuine kindness is a good thing to exist in the world. Spread as much as you can, whenever you have the opportunity.

You can still be firm, you can continue to stand your ground, you can point out real problems. And you can do it all with kindness.

Kindness recognizes that every person has unique value, and acts on that recognition. It’s readily available for you to give, and always has the power to make life a little better.

— Ralph Marston
