The Power of Kindness
A story from James Baldwin illustrates the profound impact of kindness on individuals and communities. It recounts a simple encounter between an older man, Chief Justice John Marshall, and a young man named Johnson at a market. When Johnson complained about carrying his turkey home, Marshall offered to assist him despite his own humble appearance. This act of kindness speaks to the idea that true generosity knows no status, and can inspire both the giver and the receiver to reflect on their behavior and attitudes towards others.
