A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they

Summary

This quote highlights that true kindness involves loving and treating people in a way that exceeds what they may deserve or expect. It suggests that kindness should not be limited to reciprocation or dependent on someone's actions or behaviors, but rather a selfless act of compassion and care. It emphasizes the importance of going above and beyond for others without any conditions or expectations. True kindness, therefore, is characterized by an unconditional and abundant love for others.
