I love the quote. It takes as much energy to be kind, as it does to be unkind. It reminds me of a song;

“Isn’t it a pity

Now, isn’t it a shame

How we break each other’s hearts

And cause each other pain

How we take each other’s love

Without thinking anymore

Forgetting to give back

Isn’t it a pity

Some things take so long

But how do I explain

When not too many people

Can see we’re all the same

And because of all their tears

Their eyes can’t hope to see

The beauty that surrounds them.” ~ “Isn’t It a Pity”, George Harrison.
