Kindness
The Dalai Lama says, “My religion is kindness.”
It’s easy to forget that people who are treated kindly tend to treat others in a similar fashion, and that the way we treat others has an effect that ripples through hundreds of others.
It’s hard to imagine a sustainable civilization that doesn’t have some level of compassion for others at its core. This may be the precise problem we face in the world right now, with our insatiable appetite for war, our thirst for the cruel treatment of immigrants, and our indifference to others’ suffering more generally.
