Kindness is Sacred

Your happiness, your humanity, your goodness are not grounded in power, domination, control, or wealth. They arise from something far older and far less containable: the living, unbounded field of human life itself, of which each person is a singular instance, including the frightened and the angry. That field is complex, paradoxical, and irreducible.

Much of what now passes for cultural belief is not wisdom at all, but reflex. Anxious repetition. The defensive chatter of lost tribes mistaking fear for truth and noise for meaning.
