Be Kind Quotes - Page 14

• Being hurt inevitably breeds feelings of hatred towards your attacker. But when we hurt others, we have to deal with their hatred for us, and our own feelings of guilt. But knowing what it feels like to be hurt is exactly why we try to be kind to others. That's what makes us human.

Compassion is when you do something good without any expectations - based on realizing that "the other person is also just like me".
