In the end only kindness matters.

Or so Jewel said in her single Hands

 

I believe it personally. In the end there's not much else really. Kindness is simple. Kindness is honest. Kindness trumps all else.

 

Kindness is more important than being right, more important than being better, more important than agreeing, more important even than love. What is love without kindness? Nothing I'd want to see.

 

Really I think kindness is love, and forgiveness, and mercy, and humility all rolled into one.

 

Kindness is comforting someone who betrayed you. Kindness is making sacrifices for someone you don't even know. Kindness is giving someone another chance. Kindness is letting someone go. Kindness is giving yourself permission to feel, to hurt, to love, to cry, to trust, to hope.

 

Kindness is not saying I told you so. Kindness is both lying and telling the truth. Kindness comes from the heart, not the mind.

 

Kindness heals. Kindness heals without expectations, or desire, or need, or any other condition.

 

Kindness is irrational.

 

True kindness isn't something one offers only to friends, but to strangers and enemies alike. Anyone can be kind to a friend or a lover, it is being kind to someone who has wronged us that shows true purity of heart.

 

Kindness is not condescending. Kindness is not found in pride or bribery or religion.

 

Kindness does not make us better people; kindness makes us people.

 

In the end only kindness matters.

Kevin that is so, so, so, so, sosososososooooooooo completly true. I love this. I think that's a brilliant way to look at life. And it's true what they say, control your attitude or your attitude will control you.

Thanks guys :)

 

I often feel like I am the recipient of genuine kindness, and I think being kind is something it's good for me to make a point of reminding myself to do.
