Love is kind...
Too often people underestimate the power of kindness. The wisdom that comes from being slow to anger, thinking before you speak, and doing every action out of the kindness of your heart.
"Kindness is love in action. If patience is how love reacts in order to minimize a negative circumstance, kindness is how love acts to maximize a positive circumstance. Patience avoids a problem, kindness creates a blessing. One is preventive, the other proactive."1
