Exactly! As the writer Ian MacLaren said, “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”
Well, he seems to have actually said, "Be pitiful, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle". But pitiful back in the day meant, "characterized by pity; compassionate, tender, merciful"--in other words, don't be kicking folks, but be kind.
