From the Editor:
A Happy World Kindness Day to all!
May life be always kind to you.

Yesterday, as a fitness routine I was having my usual brisk walk on the playground opposite my residence here. A young kid, probably an expatriate from the UK or the USA, made bold to ask me: " Sir, why are you walking so fast? No one is racing you!".
This innocent question illustrates very powerfully our current attitudes. We don't wish to be good in any field for its own sake, but we want to be one up on the others! We are not happy to just earn a decent and comfortable living, we want to be richer than others! This attitude often leads us astray, and we engage in unfair or unkind acts.
Kindness Unlimited recognizes the need to look after our essential self-interest. It also recognizes the value of competition in creating motivation for hard work and progress in diverse fields. The problem is that we often forget that cooperation is equally valuable for progress.
