That kindness and empathy does not come for free. Someone had to go through darkness, pushing through their own fears and insecurities, to come out the other side in one piece.

If we are unwilling to get our hands dirty, then – all we are doing is virtue signaling.
The true test of a person’s character is their ability to walk with someone when there is nothing in it for them, except for the mere fact that they understand the depth and breadth of what it feels like to be in a world with little hope.
