"Kindness has to do with what is tenderest and most intimate in us. It is an aspect of our nature that we often do not express fully — especially men in our culture, but also women — because we are afraid that if this vulnerable side comes to light, we might suffer, be offended, ridiculed, or exploited. We will find rather, that we suffer by not expressing it. And that by touching this nucleus of tenderness, we enliven our entire affective world, and we open ourselves to countless possibilities of change." — Piero Ferrucci in The Power of Kindness
