the kindest people

"the kindest people are not born that way, they are made.  they are the souls who have experienced so much at the hands of life.  they are the ones who have dug themselves out of the dark and fought to turn every loss into a lesson.  the kindest people do not just exist--they choose to soften where circumstance has tried to harden them, they choose to believe in goodness because they have seen firsthand why compassion is so necessary.  they have seen why tenderness is so important in this world."
