Jesus said that his kingdom is not of this world. This life is indeed temporal, but the next one, in the spiritual kingdom, is eternal.
And the "new" commandment he gave was:
love one another.
Kindness is similar to the idea of love. Easily understood, love means: Do to others as you would want them to do to you.

@Earl@mast.john1126.com Yes, I agree. For me, “not of this world” is very practical. It means I don’t have to take the world’s panic, conflict, status, fear, and grievance as final truth. And yes, love one another. That is where it becomes real. Not as a grand spiritual idea, but in the ordinary moment. Speak kindly. Do not attack. Do not make someone’s fear worse. Treat the other person as you would hope to be treated when you are confused, tired, frightened, or wrong. That is why I use the word kindness so often. It keeps love from becoming abstract. It brings it down into behaviour.
