Kindness is something that we must own and extend to ourselves, before we are
able to extend it to others. When we do this, we do not determine whether
someone deserves our kindness anymore than we determine whether someone
deserves to be spoken to in their own language. It is simply something we do
because it has become our nature to be kind.
