In the midst of global crises such as pollution, wars and famine, kindness may be too easily dismissed as a 'soft' issue, or a luxury to be addressed after the urgent problems are solved. But kindness is the greatest need in all those areas -- kindness toward the environment, toward other nations, toward the needs of people who are suffering. Until we reflect basic kindness in everything we do, our political gestures will be fleeting and fragile.
~Bo Lozoff
Kindness means a great deal to me. Purposeful or random... it changes lives! We require a great deal of it to reach our full potential. To have a healthy image of ourself and to offer helpful truth to others. There often doesn't seem to be enough being doled out. Yet the payoff for all is beyond comprehension!
It requires less character to discover the faults of others than is does to tolerate them.
- J. Petit Senn
Faults... so often a person just isn't aware... hasn't had the life experience or understanding to know differently... or has wounds suffocating their own healing process...
How much better is a bandage of kindness than wrathful insult to injury ?
I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.
~ Booker T. Washington
Faults in rock are due to stress and a breaking open... I think it is much the same with us. Stressors make us crack in our soul also... the fissure needs filled with wisdom and only comes with kindnesses received!
People seldom improve when they have no other model but themselves to copy.
- Oliver Goldsmith
"Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight:
always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?"
~James Barrie
Become even more of a hero in life ... be outrageously kind You could provoke an epidemic!!!!

Each small act of kindness reverberates across great distances and spans of time, affecting lives unknown to the one whose generous spirit was the source of the good echo, because kindness is passed on and grows each time it is passed, until simple courtesy becomes an act of selfless courage years later and far away.
