Kindness is Society
During
a lecture while I was interpreting for the Dalai Lama, he said in what
seemed to me to be broken English, 'Kindness is society.' I wasn’t smart
enough to think he was saying kindness is society. I thought he meant
kindness is important to society; kindness is vital to society; but he
was saying that kindness is so important that we cannot have society
without it. Society is impossible without it. Thus, kindness IS society;
society IS kindness. Without concern for other people it’s impossible
to have society.
