Kindness

What I’m trying to say

Published March 2 · All posts on Mar 2

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.

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

We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

Being mean

Never be mean to somebody who can hurt you by doing nothing. The reality is, that’s probably true of everybody you interact with; you’re interacting with them because you want them to do something.
