“Kindness is costless but also priceless” Warren Buffett
True kindness does cost you something, but not necessarily money. Perhaps that’s just how Warren Buffet sees the world, through a zero-sum game of whether something costs you money or not.
Because I know that kindness costs time, energy, mental space, the opportunity to do something else and sometimes, yes, even money.
But the impact of a kind act is so much more valuable.
Warren is right about the money with this point, it is priceless.
You cannot calculate the dollar value of a genuine kind act from one person to another because it would fall short.
Some things are not able to be bought and therefore there is no space for kindness and generosity within the financial economy. For those that focus solely on dollars and cents, this makes no sense, or cents, so it isn’t something they get involved in.
In this, Warren Buffet is an anomaly. One of the richest men on the planet still has a philosophy of kindness.
He knows that some things are worth more than money.
