Kindness is a necessary addition to everything.
All the best qualities of mankind are meaningless
and worthless without kindness, and even the worst vices can be easily forgiven
with kindness.
There is a natural kindness which comes from our
external attributes, from our inheritance, audience, good or bad indigestion,
success, etc. This kind of kindness is very pleasant, both for the person who
experiences it and for the people around him. And there is another type
kindness which comes from inner, spiritual work. This kindness is less
attractive, but although the first kindness can easily change or be transformed
into hatred, the second kind of kindness will never disappear and will
constantly grow.
The goodness
which you do gives you pleasure, but not satisfaction. No matter how much goodness
you do, you should wish to do more and more.
— Confucius
Kindness is the major quality of the soul. If a
person is not kind, it is because he was subjected to some lie, passion, or
temptation which violated his natural state.
