Food for Thought.

"We live in a culture of snark. We're teasing, defensive & ironic. We sound far wittier when we're being detached & sarcastic. Compared to one-line put-downs and killer comebacks, kindness seems outmoded, unimaginative,tame. We associate it with blandness. But we need to rethink our assumptions. Kindness isn't easy, it's difficult. And it doesn't just benefit others-it benefits you,too." (Hannah Swerling for Elle magazine)
