Err on the Side of Kindness

Err on the side of kindness.  Not a bad motto to live by.  Kindness promotes positive relationships with others, although the notion still persists among many individuals that kindness is a sign of weakness.  

According to the philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, kindness and love are the most curative agents in human relationships.  The 14th Dalai Lama, Tensin Gyatso, once wrote that his religion is kindness. Robert Louis Stevenson considered that kindness is the essence of love.
