Reflections on Kindness
Every day offers us the potential for creating at least one act of kindness. We don’t want to miss the opportunity.
When others unexpectedly hurt us with their words, return kindness, not pain.
To reach others, use soft but honest words, and have a kind and sincere expression on your face.
People do not have to be kind to us. When we are, be appreciative. When it seems there is nothing we can do, we can be kind.
One who receives kindness should always remember it but one who performs kindness would be wise to forget it.
Being kind is not necessarily being gentle. Sometimes, true kindness is being stern.
The true friend is one who understands, forgives, and forgets our thoughtless words and acts. Offering us the kindness of another chance.
Open the doors to your heart. Open them wider. Wider still.
Now, leaving ego behind, step through to an expanse of loving-kindness as pervasive as all time, as broad as the universe.
