Relationships are based on four principles: respect, understanding, acceptance and appreciation.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) Activist in India
and pioneer of the principle of
Satyagraha—resistance to tyranny
through mass nonviolent civil disobedience.
“I think what’s really powerful about this quote is that it proclaims what we already know—we’re all one thing, one being, one humanity. And, if we truly intend to have more kindness, and more joy, and more peace and harmony in the world, we have to start taking the time to understand others at a really deep level, not just the surface level. This makes me realize that kindness is the act of acknowledging the brilliance in others and allowing that to be in the world in amazing ways. It’s special—It’s delightful—It’s what makes us human.”
