"Being kind doesn't cost you any money"
"A small bit of kindness can light up someone's day"
"Kindness saves lives"
There's an old Chinese proverb, "人之初 性本善". On a literal level it means that in the beginning, humans were naturally kind. I wonder if, by interpretation, it means we all grow to be twisted and cruel.
So often, I implore of others, "please be kind".
What does it mean to be kind, anyway? It turns out not many people set out to be unkind. The kindness they bestow, however, is not necessarily desirable or useful in any way. There is no way that kindness comes at a low price- some forms of kindness requires great sacrifice.
Yet there is no way this world would survive without kindness.
