Being kind means that you have resolved from inside your heart to be warm in your speech and actions to others, no matter how unpleasant they sometimes may behave toward you.
Wow, this is a brilliant quote! I've always envied those who can practice kindness naturally. I think you've just given me some insights to reflect, because while you can force yourself to pick up the habit of extending kindness, I always felt it was rather ungenuine.
However, if it comes from within, I believe the action will be more congruent. Something worth pondering for sure.
Oh thank you sir @maverickfoo . Everyone can extend kindness to others if only they would choose to see others as themselves.
