    Wonder: A Revolution in Kindness

    Miglior citazione da Wonder: A Revolution in Kindness

    “

    When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind. It suggests that being a good person isn't about being perfect—it's about making conscious choices to treat others with dignity and respect.
