"Et puis j'ai réalisé que la gentillesse n'est pas un trait fixe mais une habitude que l'on choisit de cultiver chaque jour."
— Haruki Murakami

Simplified Meaning:
Being kind isn't something you're just born with, like having blue eyes or brown hair. It's more like a skill you can practice and get better at, just like playing a musical instrument or cooking. Imagine a garden: you have to water the plants, remove the weeds, and take care of it daily for it to thrive. Kindness works the same way. You have to make small, caring actions regularly, like helping someone carry groceries or giving a compliment. Over time, these small acts of kindness add up and make you a genuinely kind person. So, anyone can become kinder by deciding to do good things each and every day.
