" If we lose affection and kindliness from our life, we lose all that gives it charm. "
- Marcus Tullius Cicero
You'd see a lot of people labeling love as weakness and kindness as foolishness. This is because something that makes us happy can also turn into something that hurts us a lot. Love can turn into hate and kindness can make people take advantage of you.
What we need to understand though is that loving and being kind is a choice you make every single day. Leaving love and kindness outside the door of your heart would enable you to not get hurt very badly. However, it will rob you off the magic that life is. Love happens in a thousand different ways and most of them might hurt you but even if you have one in your favour, that's enough to live. Kindness might sometimes be a thankless job but at least you deserve happiness right? And you're in peace with yourself. So yeah, affection and kindliness is the pixie dust of human race and without it the world will be devoid of magic. Life will be devoid of miracles.
