Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together." ~ Johann Wolfgan von Goethe
Whenever I experience kindness with another person, I feel a connection. A linking happens. I think it's a linking of hearts. Know what I mean? Imagine if we all practiced kindness every day, in every encounter. We would be like a golden chain, bound in preciousness, not of gold, but of compassion.
And compassion is not weak. It may have softness. But it's like wind and water, both with softness and incredible strength.
Let's act upon every opportunity we see to strengthen our society.
With kindness and compassion,
