Spotlight On Kindness: Bridging Divides

The greatest act of kindness is often to listen deeply. As Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us, even one hour of deep listening - compassionately allowing someone to empty his or her heart, without trying to correct or change perceptions - can help relieve suffering.
