Thought of the Day

“Kindness is a language the deaf can hear, and the blind can see,” means kindness is a universal language that transcends physical senses (hearing/sight) and barriers, communicating directly to the soul through actions like smiles, touch, and compassion, making it felt and understood by everyone, regardless of disability or background.
