I wrote this blog posting in 2016. However, now it is clear that its words and sentiments ring truer and more urgent today than when I first wrote it.
Moreover, as tomorrow is World Kindness Day, then, perhaps the best we can do today, on Remembrance Sunday, is to ensure that we will thrive to build a world of peace and justice by embracing kindness to defeat the political economy of hatred and despair.
Be Kind to Yourself, Be Kind to Others. You reconcile all beings in the world.
“Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”― Lao Tzu

And at a time when our country is divided, pitting itself against our European neighbours, we’d do well to remember the hopeful and enduring story of Coventry.
