"Being rude is easy. It doesn't take any effort and is a sign of weakness and insecurity. Kindness shows great self-discipline and strong self-esteem."

Rudeness is everywhere. People are rude and disrespectful when they act impolite, inconsiderate, or mean toward someone else. Being rude is easy. You have a hard day; a stranger cut you off in traffic, a coworker is mean to you, your computer breaks down...
Treating people with kindness is not always easy, especially when dealing with rude people. When you are kind, you enjoy your days more, and you encourage others to spread respect. When you choose to be kind, you grow in humanity, self-esteem, and strength.
More important, you might consider treating people with kindness because you can and because it reflects the person you choose to be.
