Kind heartedness

One quality that supersedes any political or religious outlook is kind heartedness. This quality involves being genuinely interested in the well being of others and the willingness to listen in a non-judgmental manner. Kind heartedness is based on the values of goodwill and a desire to show understanding of the needs of others. It demonstrates a desire to help through listening and support for the experiences of others. In doing so it builds a bond between individuals that strengthens relationships. I observe this quality within the circle of friends I have developed since moving to Bend, Oregon three years ago. When we are together in a gathering, the focus is on enjoying one another’s company that brings to the forefront what we share in common and not what separates us. The result is a room filled with joy and laughter. Kind heartedness is a quality that is easy to share. Imagine if this was the pandemic in our lives. Wouldn’t it make for a healthier world? How are you practicing kind heartedness in your life today?
