My religion is kindness.

There is a common perception that compassion is, if not actually an impediment, at least irrelevant to professional life.

This is because when we ignore the question of the impact our actions have on others' well-being, inevitably we end up hurting them.

The basis of human rights is happy life. Everyone wants to lead a happy life for which we need to have a holistic approach.
