response to the Cathedral from Carver

Be kind to others is kind to yourself indeed
It’s hard to describe my feeling after reading the Cathedral from Carver. Carver’s short story still goes through smoothly, as flowing water, not much flowery language. When I first read it, I almost fell asleep. However, when finishing reading, I can feel a warm heart in Carver’s chest.
From my own perspective, the author wants to tell the reader that if you are kind to others, it’s also a kind to yourself. Like the protagonist in the story, at first, he doesn’t even hate the blind guest, however, as their conversation goes, they know each other better. Finally, when the protagonist closed his eyes, I think he already know to understand other people, and should be kind to others.
