It’s difficult to understand how different people feel at different moments in time. Nevertheless, whether they feel sorrow or joy, an act of kindness can make another person’s day that much better.

In her short story “The Story of an Invitation,” L.M. Montgomery demonstrates that kindness is a beautiful virtue that should be practiced and cultivated. This virtue makes the world less dreary and far more hopeful. It cultivates true friendship and gives love a chance to lift up others.
