The Talmud says that the highest form of wisdom is kindness. As you draw closer to your Divine nature, kindness returns in your words of caring and tenderness and in the things that you do to help and support each other. Acts of kindness rarely fail to move and inspire us. They always gain respect and admiration. They are a needed reminder of life's true purpose - the generation of unselfish love.
