Time to think…about being kind today

“A benefit should be kept like a buried treasure, only to be dug up in necessity. Nature bids us to do well by all. Wherever there is a human being, we have an opportunity for kindness.” Seneca, On The Happy Life.

We all have it in us to reach inside ourselves and bring forth support, kindness and empathy for other people. I don’t think anyone will ever experience being out of kindness; perhaps we might find ourselves exhausted and doubting our ability to be kind. But if it is in our nature, then at least our intentions and wishes for others remain good. And sometimes that is all that is needed to help someone else – provided that they know your intentions.
