Have you ever asked yourself why the kindest people often suffer the most?

Kindness is often quiet and unassuming, while the world tends to reward boldness, ambition, and self-interest. Kind-hearted people may carry the weight of others’ pain, give without expecting anything in return, and forgive when it costs them. In doing so, they sometimes open themselves to being overlooked, misunderstood, or even taken advantage of. Their suffering isn’t because they are weak — it’s because their hearts remain open in a world that can be harsh and unkind.
