Kindness

I was talking, and I knew my friend was listening, and I felt God’s patience.
I was unsure, and I saw my friend smile, and I felt God’s encouragement.
I was confused, and I heard my friend’s advice, and I learnt God’s wisdom.
I was hurting, and I felt my friend’s touch, and I knew God’s kindness.
What is kindness? An attempt to bridge the empty space between two souls, to understand and to feel and to do one’s best not to hurt the other, but to encourage the other soul. We often mistake pity for kindness or condescension for kindness, but kindness is unconscious love.
