The greatest kindness is to help relieve someone else’s pain. Not all wounds can be seen. Sometimes, ordinary eyes hide extraordinary struggles, and their closed lips may be holding back floods of emotions. To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived – this is to have succeeded.

Inspired by the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov, Reb Yisrael ben Eliezer (1698-1760)
