This quote about kindness is spot on, it is the greatest gift to give to one another. True kindness is something we need to give freely and to be truly kind you don’t need thank you, yes it’s polite but you should be kind without expectation. That is the sign of true kindness is just being kind. So be kind to one another, don’t expect anything in return, not even a thank you. Be grateful everyday for what you have and those around you. Life is too short to do otherwise.
