“Kindness Is Love In Action”

Posted on August 26, 2012 by russtowne

billgncs of http://bwthoughts.wordpress.com/ fame made a comment to one of my posts yesterday that I not only love, but I’ve pondered at length.

He said, “I think kindness is love in action.” I’ve shortened it to “Kindness is love in action” It is now one of my favorite sayings.

I believe there is much truth and wisdom in those 5 words.

That helps explain to me why I focus so much on kindness; the kindness of others and kindness I can show toward others.

Actions do indeed speak louder than words.

Thank you, Bill. As Rick told Louie at the end of one of my favorite movies, “I believe this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
