Kindness can only be repaid with kindness. It can’t be repaid with expressions like thank you.
how is it so easy for you
to be kind to people he asked
milk and honey dripped
from my lips as i answered
cause people have not
been kind to me
But compassion is a muscle that gets stronger with use, and the regular exercise of choosing kindness over cruelty would change us.
Remember this, when you gain fame, when you gain wealth, when you gain position and seniority, people will treat you better, they will keep doors open for you. They will bring you a cup of tea and coffee even if you don't ask for it. They will call you sir and madam and give you things. None of this is meant for you, it's meant for the position you hold, it's meant for the level you've reached, leadership, success or whatever you want to call it. But you will always deserve the Styrofoam Cup. Remember this, remember this lesson of humility and gratitude. Just be grateful for them and know that they are not for you forever.
