"Kindness that is fueled by guilt, pity, or colonialism is not kindness at all. Kindness is not currency or a commodity to be used to barter and bargain away the sins of our past or to alleviate our responsibility to be part of global recovery efforts in times of tragedy."⠀ ⠀ From my book, "In Defense of Kindness: Why It Matters, How It Changes Our Lives, and How It Can Save the World" released March 16, 2021 by @ChalicePress.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Purchase links in bio.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #Kindness⠀⠀ #LaunchKindness⠀⠀ #InDefenseOfKindness
