Lovingkindness: The Most Beautiful Word in the English Language

This is a really short post because the word says it all.

The word is lyrical, beautiful, soothing, and rolls off the tongue.


It’s technical definition? The word naturally connotes a combination of love and kindness, but there is a synergy between the two concepts when they’re joined into “lovingkindness.” It represents a totality of compassion, mercy, kindness, love, forgiveness, and understanding.

 

To me, it’s almost mystical in meaning. Suffice it to say that if the world practiced lovingkindness, we would all be living in paradise by tomorrow.

 

It’s the only mantra anyone ever needs.
