“Kindness is the essence of greatness”- Joseph B. Wirthlin

What Joseph is trying to say is that kindness is a great. For Example you have to be kind to be great.  I'm a really kind person so for that reason i have greatness. When your kind you get back greatness. The reason why you should be kind is for people to know you as a good person not a bad one. People will know that you're a great person because you're showing kindness. Kindness has to be shown for people to have you respect. Once you show kindness you will get the great additude of the people.
