I believe we are meaning-seeking creatures, and these feelings of meaning, relational and connective, are almost always located within kindness. Kindness is the force that draws us together, and this, Beau, is what I think I am trying to say – that despite our collective state of loss, and our potential for evil, there exists a great network of goodness, knitted together by countless everyday human kindnesses.

~ Nick Cave, from Nick Cave – The Red Hand Files – Issue #204 – What is the point in life?

Spot on. It doesn’t get much better than when there’s a bunch of kindness, insight and compassion.
