Isn't it strange that sometimes the memory of an act of kindness can cause more pain than the cruel stuff?
(0 Reviews)

In her book "Angels," Marian Keyes reflects on how memories can be complex and layered. She points out that recollections of kindness can often cut deeper than painful experiences, highlighting the emotional weight we attach to acts of compassion. This suggests that kindness evokes strong feelings, sometimes leading to a greater sense of loss or longing than even the harshest experiences.

Keyes invites readers to consider the paradox of these memories and their impact on our lives. While cruel moments can be traumatic, the sweetness of kindness can leave a lingering ache when it’s absent, making us revisit those memories with a mix of gratitude and sorrow. This complexity illustrates the profound nature of human emotions and relationships, as kindness holds a unique place in our hearts.
