Kindness

[Inti]

"You know this word, 'kindness'?"
I said that I did, and he said: "Never forget this word. Very good word and not exist in many languages. Not in French, for instance. French say 'gentil' but this not mean same thing. Not kind, kind come from kin, like family, like same thing. Kindness mean to treat like self." (taken from Boyhood with Gurdjieff by Fritz Peters, p. 78)

Hi

I believe the word in French for kindness is bonté, which it sound closer to the word bondad in Spanish. which it is also translated to English as Kindness.
