The only non-delusional response
to everything is kindness.
to everything is kindness.
--Fr. Greg Boyle
The kindest people are not born that way, they are made. They are the souls that have experienced much at the hands of life. They are the ones who have dug themselves out of the dark, who have fought to turn every loss into a lesson. The kindest people do not just exist, they choose to soften where circumstance has tried to harden them. They choose to believe in goodness, because they have seen first hand why compassion is so necessary. They have seen firsthand why tenderness is important in this world.
