" Kindness is the essence of greatness" 

What this is saying is that without kindness you can't be great. Its like saying that you meet someone new and they don't show kindness like all they'll say would be like a simple hi or a smile at you but that shows you that there a nice person. If they were to introduce themselves and greet you in a kind way and start a conversation with you then thats a kindness and then you will think they are a kind person by the way they greeted you. Without greatness and kindness it would be bad because you wouldn't show kindness or say or do nice or great things and it would show that you are rude and a mean person.  Being kind is a great thing to do showing kindness is also a great thing to do and show, you will make new friends meet new people by being kind to them.
