I’ve always thought of kindness of more of a personality trait before.
Until recently I have never appreciated the braveness associated with an act of kindness. In fact, I feel it’s the biggest barrier to kindness.
If a nice act requires braveness, is that what makes it kindness rather than mere politeness?
I think all the opportunities for kindness that I have let slip by are due to being a little cowardly.
I’d like to appreciate this along side all the ‘adventurous brave’ things do on trip. Can conquering fear of climbing a cliffs help people appreciate conquer the bravery of kindness? I’ll be watching.
