" Kindness that is fueled by guilt, pity, or colonialism is not kindness at all. Kindness is not currency or a commodity to be used to barter and bargain away the sins of our past or to alleviate our responsibility to be part of global recovery efforts in times of tragedy. "

― Bruce Reyes-Chow , In Defense of Kindness: Why It Matters, How It Changes Our Lives, and How It Can Save the World
