Marcus ReynoldsIt is easy to confuse nice and Kind. We sometimes use them interchangeably, but understanding the difference between the two is crucial for a better world.
We’ve all missed out on opportunities for love because we were afraid.
To care is to choose to dream of a better world and actually do something to create it.
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.
Self-absorption in all its forms kills empathy, let alone compassion. When we focus on ourselves, our world contracts as our problems and preoccupations loom large. But when we focus on others, our world expands. Our own problems drift to the periphery of the mind and so seem smaller, and we increase our capacity for connection—or compassionate action.
