Why we need kindness more than ever

The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane. The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity. More than machinery, we need humanity; more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Faith provides a framework to understand life's origins, our purpose, and what happens after death, giving individuals a sense of direction. Doctrines and sacred texts act as practical guides for living, defining concepts of right and wrong, and encouraging compassion, charity, and justice.
