Kindness & Compassion...
A while ago I came across these two definitions :
Compassion : not wishing others to suffer or experience unhappiness; hoping that they avoid negative situations and experiences
Kindness : genuinely wishing others well; hoping that they experience happiness and positive situations and experiences.
I think we’d all like to think of ourselves as compassionate, and even though it can be a little harder at times, I think we’d all like to show more kindness to others too.
And maybe, when we’ve mastered practicing both of them on others, we could try practicing them on ourselves too…
