In any environment the atmosphere will moderate the growth. Kindness allows all the conditions essential for human growth and development to exist.
Kindness is often misrepresented as a fuzzy, soppy state, devoid of rationality and reserved for children and animals who don’t know any better.

When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people. – Abraham Joshua Heschel
Me too.
