 Editor’s note: Wouldn’t it be wonderful if kindness was taught in every school just like reading and math starting in kindergarten?

Today’s young people seem to feel that they can make themselves fully known to one another. They seem to lack a sense of their own depths, and of the value of keeping them hidden.
