>The world is a much kinder, nicer place than it often seems.

I realize that a lot these days. People are not inherently so bad but greed is a nasty drug that has the potential to ruin the best.

When you have nothing to offer but kindness and compassion, it is very simple to see the humanity side of things in this world and it can feel really amazing.

It's not the people it's the situations they find themselves in.

People are more likely to be kind to you and give you your time when they're not in a cut throat corporate hunger games situation themselves.
