Luce Leadership Experience 2019: Indonesia (May 24, 2023)
Viewpoint: Why Kindness Matters
Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural, linguistic, and social barriers. It is an innate human quality that allows us to connect with others on a deeper level. Whether it is a smile to a stranger, a helping hand to someone in need, or a word of encouragement to a friend, acts of kindness foster a sense of belonging and community. In a time when people are often isolated or divided, kindness bridges gaps and unites us. It reminds us of our shared humanity and the fundamental need for connection and understanding.
New York, N.Y. In a world where rapid technological advancements and societal shifts often dominate headlines, the simple yet profound act of kindness can sometimes be overshadowed. However, from my perspective, kindness is an essential aspect of human interaction that holds the power to transform lives, foster genuine connections, and build a more compassionate society. Kindness matters because it enriches our lives, supports mental well-being, and creates ripples of positivity that extend far beyond the initial act.
From personal experience, I have seen how kindness can create meaningful change. There was a time when a colleague was struggling with a particularly challenging project. By offering my assistance and encouraging words, I was able to help them navigate the difficulties they faced. This not only improved our working relationship but also created an environment of mutual support and respect. Such experiences have taught me that kindness is not just about grand gestures; it is often the small, everyday actions that have the most significant impact.
Moreover, kindness has a profound effect on our mental well-being. Research has shown that acts of kindness release endorphins, the brain’s natural painkillers, and boost the production of serotonin, the mood-stabilizing neurotransmitter. This “helper’s high” can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, contributing to overall mental health. By practicing kindness, we not only enhance the well-being of others but also improve our own. It creates a positive feedback loop where giving and receiving kindness reinforce each other, leading to a happier, more fulfilling life.
The Bauer Fund of the J. Luce Foundation: Kindness Matters
The Bauer Fund of the J. Luce Foundation has made “Kindness Matters” a keystone of our efforts, emphasizing the critical role that compassion and empathy play in community development and personal growth. By supporting initiatives that promote kindness, the Bauer Fund aims to create environments where people feel valued and supported. Our projects, ranging from educational programs to community outreach, demonstrate the transformative power of kindness in action. This commitment to fostering kindness aligns with the broader mission of the foundation to empower individuals and build stronger, more inclusive communities.
Kindness also cultivates empathy and compassion
When we put ourselves in someone else’s shoes and act with kindness, we develop a greater understanding of their experiences and challenges. This empathy is crucial in addressing social issues and fostering inclusive communities. For instance, volunteering at a local shelter or participating in community service can open our eyes to the struggles faced by others and inspire us to contribute to solutions. Through these acts, we learn that kindness is not just an individual virtue but a collective responsibility.
The ripple effect of kindness
In our increasingly digital world, the importance of kindness extends to online interactions as well. The anonymity of the internet can sometimes lead to negative behaviors, such as cyberbullying or trolling. However, choosing to be kind online can counteract this negativity and create a more positive virtual environment. Simple actions, such as leaving supportive comments, sharing uplifting content, or offering constructive feedback, can make a significant difference. Kindness in digital spaces is crucial as our online interactions often shape our perceptions and attitudes.
Kindness is not always easy
There are times when stress, frustration, or indifference might make it challenging to act kindly. However, it is in these moments that kindness is most needed and most impactful. Choosing kindness, even when it is difficult, is a testament to our character and our commitment to making the world a better place.
One small act can inspire another, creating a chain reaction that spreads far and wide. A single kind gesture can brighten someone’s day, which they may then pass on to others, multiplying the impact. This ripple effect can contribute to a culture of kindness, where people are more inclined to help and support each other. It reinforces the idea that our actions, no matter how small, can have far-reaching consequences.
In short, kindness matters because it is a powerful force for good. It enriches our lives, supports mental well-being, fosters empathy and compassion, and creates ripples of positivity that extend far beyond the initial act. By embracing kindness in our daily interactions, both offline and online, we contribute to a more compassionate and connected world. As I reflect on my experiences, I am reminded that every act of kindness, no matter how small, holds the potential to make a significant difference. Therefore, let us choose kindness and make it a cornerstone of our lives.

Leonard Bernstein Supported Our Efforts Fighting Religious Extremism in the 1980s

Leonard Bernstein was not shy about sharing his political beliefs with the world. Nor was he afraid of the various epithets — liberal, Jew, antiwar, radical chic, commie-pinko-queer — which over the years stuck to him like burrs on his coattails. He spoke out and fought doggedly for the causes he believed in. He donated fees, wrote letters and campaign songs, in order to communicate his fervent hope for a better world.”
New York, N.Y. Leonard Bernstein [Luce Index™ 95] was an American conductor, composer, pianist, music educator, author, and humanitarian. Considered to be one of the most important conductors of his time, he was the first American-born conductor to receive international acclaim.
Born in Massachusetts in 1918, Bernstein died at 72 in the Dakota, on Manhattan‘s Upper West Side near Lincoln Center where he had conducted.
In an essay entitled “My Father’s Idealism,” Bernstein’s son Jamie writes:
“Leonard Bernstein grew up in a world of stark political contrasts. From the Depression to Roosevelt and the New Deal, from Nazism to World War II and the dropping of the atom bomb on Hiroshima, young Bernstein witnessed a world full of evil that was occasionally tempered by powerful forces of good. In the mid-1960’s, just as life and public justice in America seemed to be making some progress, Bernstein and his contemporaries found themselves swept up in the upheavals of three devastating assassinations: President John F. Kennedy in 1963, and then five years later, Rev. Martin Luther King and President Kennedy’s brother, Robert F. Kennedy. And then there was yet another long and wounding war, in Vietnam.
“Through it all, my father clung hard to the belief that by creating beauty, and by sharing it with as many people as possible, artists had the power to tip the earthly balance in favor of brotherhood and peace. After all, he reasoned, if humans could create and appreciate musical harmony, then surely they were capable of replicating that very same harmony in the world they lived in.
“Leonard Bernstein was not shy about sharing his political beliefs with the world. Nor was he afraid of the various epithets — liberal, Jew, antiwar, radical chic, commie-pinko-queer — which over the years stuck to him like burrs on his coattails. He spoke out and fought doggedly for the causes he believed in. He donated fees, wrote letters and campaign songs, even entire musical works, in order to communicate his fervent hope for a better world.”

Jim Luce Writes on Mexico and Mexican-Americans
Mexico’s significance, as witnessed through Jim Luce’s travels to the vibrant Mexico City and the border town of Tijuana, lies in its rich historical and cultural tapestry that predates much of the United States. Mexico City, a thriving metropolis before Boston’s founding, embodies centuries of indigenous and colonial heritage. Yet, many Americans remain unaware that vast regions, including California and much of the U.S. West, were once Mexican territory, ceded through historical conflicts. This complex history underscores Mexico’s enduring influence on North American identity, culture, and shared borders.
