Kindness is a decision. It's a decision to incline the heart toward goodwill for all beings, especially those that are suffering in ignorance, knowingly or unknowingly.

Just as a man who tames a calf would tie it to a post, so here should his own mind by mindfulness be firmly to the object tied.

The restless, agitated mind,
Hard to protect, hard to control,
The sage makes straight,
As a fletcher the shaft of an arrow.

All experience is preceded by the mind, led by the mind, made by the mind. Speak or act with a peaceful mind, and happiness follows like a never-departing shadow.

Just as a solid massive rock remains unshaken by the wind, so too, in the face of blame and praise, the wise remain unmovable.
