In her tongue is the law of kindness. THE worst kinds of unhappiness, as well as the greatest amount of it,
come from our conduct to each other. If our conduct, therefore, were under
the control of kindness, it would be nearly the opposite of what it is,
and so the state of the world would be almost reversed. We are for the
most part unhappy, because the world is an unkind world. But the world
is only unkind for the lack of kindness in us units who compose it. You feel in some families as if you were living between the glasses
of a microscope. Manner, accent, expression, all that goes to make up
your "personality," all that you do or leave undone, is commented upon
and found fault with. If you would be loved as a companion, avoid unnecessary criticism upon those with whom you live.
