For Our Own Benefit Too

Life is a difficult ride. At times all of us will know pain, trouble, loneliness and struggle. That’s why it is so important for us to practice love and kindness. For your own benefit, as well as for others.

I saw the above paragraph at http://istopforsuffering.wordpress.com/
I enjoy, gain value from, and am often touched by that blog, and whole-heartedly believe in the wisdom of this saying.
