"It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'try to be a little kinder.'"

About this Quote

This quote by Aldous Huxley talks to the trouble of finding services to the human problem. It suggests that, regardless of having actually committed one's life to comprehending the complexities of human life, the very best guidance one can provide is to merely be kinder. This is an acknowledgement of the restrictions of our understanding, and a suggestion that the simplest options are frequently the most reliable. It also implies that kindness is a universal solution to many of the problems we deal with, and that it is something we can all strive for. Eventually, this quote functions as a tip that, while we may not have all the answers, we can still make a positive difference on the planet by being kind to one another.
