Humanity is made stronger by kindness. It cuts through race, gender, religion, and distance. Whoever thinks it’s weak to be kind needs a dose of kindness themselves. During dark times, compassion is the flicker of light that helps you to see and who else better represent kindness than all the world’s noble nurses?
Nurses provide solace to patients, comforting them with their tenderness. For those who are sick and tired, hopeless and grieving, compassion is greatly needed and nurses are there to offer them. Their sincere intent to alleviate pain and suffering through their good hearts is what makes them the perfect epitome of kindness.
