Kindness

Some words from a local:

Right from the moment of our birth

we are under the care and kindness of our parents.

Then later on in our life,

when we are oppressed by sickness and become old

we are again dependent on the kindness of others.

Since it is the case that at the beginning and end of our lives

we are so dependent on others kindness,

how can it be that in the middle we neglect kindness towards others?
