Kind thoughts bring deep joy to the heart. People crave joy, and they don't have it. They cannot find it because they are looking for it where it does not exist. Neither amusements nor splendid deeds can by themselves bring the joy that satisfies the thirst of our souls. A simple kind and loving thought can do it, however. The simple kind and loving thought possesses the ability to dissipate the clouds of sadness, dissatisfaction and depression. Kind thoughts make miracles.
— Jean Maalouf, The Healing Power of Kindness
