The Paradox of Kindness You'll give your time, your care, your heart often to people who may never give it back. And sometimes that hurts. But kindness isn't a transaction. It's a reflection of who you are, not what you get in return. Because life has a strange way of circling things back, just not from where you gave them. The help you gave returns as grace. The love you offered shows up as peace. The understanding you shared comes back as clarity. You rarely receive from the same place you give. But you always receive. That's the quiet paradox of kindness.
