Joy of Our Life

"Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good
things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the
joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this
inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say,
want and do."

*-- Emanuel Swedenborg {1688-1772 Swedish Scientist}


"Compassion does not mean to be solicitous to someone who
appears to be stray, imperfect, or needy. It means to see
that person as we see ourselves, as unique human beings
with wants, hopes, needs, dreams, and desires."

*-- Gail Pursell Elliott - "The Dignity and Respect Lady"
