I regular-boosted this but I want to quote it too.
The last 2 episodes of @aurooba’s little daily podcast go together and are deeply impactful. I’ve listened several times.
They remind me of many important things.
And alongside “default to kindness” is “assume good intent”.
Why?
Because you know a mere tiny fraction of the other person. Their day. Their situation. Their life.
Kindness is critical. We ALL need it. So be the one who pours it out.
