some way. When we are calm and relaxed we can make proper use of
our mind’s ability to think clearly, so whatever we do, whether we are
studying or working, we will be able to do it better.
Everyone responds positively to kindness. This is evident to anyone
who has been a parent. One of the causes of the close bond between
children and parents is the natural kindness that exists between them.
From the moment of conception in our mother’s womb until we are
able to look after ourselves we receive great kindness from many
different people, without which we would not survive. Reflecting on
this and how we are all just human beings, whether we are rich or
poor, educated or uneducated, and whether we belong to one nation,
religion, culture or another, may inspire us to repay the kindness we
have received by being kind to others ourselves.
