About this Quote

This quote by Kahlil Gibran challenges the typical notion of kindness. It suggests that true kindness is not about giving to someone something that they need less than the giver, however rather about offering to someone something that they require more than the giver. This requires a shift in perspective, as it suggests taking into consideration the needs of others before our own desires. It highlights the importance of compassion and understanding the struggles and challenges that others may be facing. Ultimately, this quote encourages us to be selfless and prioritize the needs of others in our acts of giving.
