One thing I know about extremely kind people is that most have suffered the most. They have deep empathy because their pain has created it.
People who face hardship learn how much loneliness and hurt weigh on the soul. Instead of turning bitter after cruelty, they decide to become a safe place for others.
Most people think kindness is just something they do, but they spot silent struggles in others quickly and offer comfort.
Some people brush off kindness like it’s nothing. I notice every act of kindness as an act of rare empathy brought on by pain.
