You can tell a person is genuinely kind by how you feel after spending time with them - not impressed, not entertained, just lighter, more like yourself, more settled - and the person whose presence reliably produces that feeling has done something most adults never master, which is offering a kind of attention that returns you to yourself rather than redirecting you to them - Silicon Canals

Real kindness is about presence, not performance or charisma; it makes others feel more like themselves without trying to impress or entertain.
