Every morning it is important to reaffirm our commitment to kindness. Our teachers remind us of this again and again, because the afflictions are powerful and our mind is easily swept away by them. It is important on a regular basis to think of the values and principles that we cherish and to come back to that kind heart, and to make a commitment to it again. Even if things are not going the way we want, even if there are problems everywhere, again and again come back to regarding the world and its inhabitants with kindness and treating ourselves and others with kindness.
