Kindness

Kindness

Kindness is one of the highest human virtues, because the kind person is generous, has an inclination to do good to others without expecting anything in return and does so with affection, understanding and respect.

Kindness and justice are two closely related sisters. Sometimes it is easier to be good than to be fair. Without the sense of justice, true goodness is very difficult to achieve. Clemency and justice are always united.
