Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

Decoding the quote

It is amusing to see this quote promoting the idea of kindness on the pretext of what the person in front of us ‘might’ be going through.

Don’t get me wrong! I am someone who believes that our world needs kindness but it is important to be kind because you want to be kind, be kind because you want positivity in your & everyone else’s life. Don’t let other people’s good/bad situation define your outflow of kindness.

Kindness isn’t situation specific!

If you are going through a negative phase in your life & feel impossible to be kind, it’s okay! It really is okay! Try establishing healthy boundaries in your interpersonal relationships. It is difficult to be kind when your own world seems to be crashing down. Remember another quote — It is difficult to pour from an empty cup. You will never be able to truly help somebody with your kindness, if you, yourself are drained of emotional energy. Start by being kind to yourself.

Learn to adopt qualities holistically. Be a kind person!
