When confronted with someone who is frustrated and angry, the kinder one is, the more he sees the underlying pain. When dealing with a person who is not using his potential, the kinder one is, the more one understands what needs to be done to help this person utilize untapped strengths. When encountering a person who is experiencing a difficulty in any area of life (whether financial, emotional, or physical), the kinder one is, the more opportunities to be of service one will find.

The challenges of others are a kind person's signals that his words and deeds are needed.

Some people are afraid that if they are kind, they will be missing out on their own happiness and pleasure. Nothing could be further from the truth. A sincerely kind person is a joyous person. He is someone whose greatest pleasure is bringing a smile to others. Those who enjoy sports enjoy victories that come once in a while. Those who enjoy kindness will find sources of meaning, fulfillment and joy all the time.
