Kindness Quotient
The Dalai Lama has been quoted as saying that his religion is kindness. It takes great strength and insight to live a life with kindness. That is, an individual can only act with consistent kindness if her heart and spiritual understanding are mature. Many times we find that forgiveness of others is only the beginning, and that it is more important to forgive ourselves. Along this line, there will be some clients demonstrating behaviors toward themselves that are shy on the kindness quotient. A practitioner's demeanor that exemplifies kindness can introduce a reality not yet acknowledged by a client. A truly kind act can be powerful and change the world for an individual. A truly kind heart can change a neighborhood. A kind neighborhood can change a culture. And what a kind culture can do is yet to be realized. How is your mastery of kindness?--John Kroneck
