What is Kindness?
I will start by asking, What is kindness? Treating people as they wish to be treated. Treating someone with consideration for their well-being. Freeing people to be themselves. We all know what kindness is when we experience it from others, but evaluating what kindness is in a concrete sense isn’t as simple as it may…
