Through Kinder Eyes

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

That quote — or versions of it — is all over the Internet and attributed to anyone from Plato to Billie Holiday to Jeff Bridges. It first came my way years ago as part of a series of seemingly random things that floated into my world in a short period of time and changed me and the way I approach people and situations and life in general.
