“Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want and do”
Emanuel Swedenborg
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI have often seen this quotation from Emanuel Swedenborg on the internet but it is rarely given with the details of its source. The quote comes from Emanuel Swedenborg's book "The New Jerusalem and its Heavenly Doctrine" and it can be found in paragraph 104.
With best wishes
