Although this transformation into a life of Christlike humility and kindness seems to be a daily challenge for all of us, such a change is of critical importance because our very salvation as well as our own survival on earth is at stake. Collectively, we, as human beings, need to take stock of what we think and, therefore, what we create. Do we want to participate in the goodness and kindness of God on earth or do we want evil and more destruction to rule our lives?
— Jean Maalouf, The Healing Power of Kindness
