To begin, we can view the video I sent last week:

Brotherly Kindness
Those engaged in Christ's ministry must develop the quality of "brotherly kindness" if they are to succeed (D&C 4:6; 107:30). This trait is specifically mentioned in only one other place in scripture (2 Pet. 1:7), although the term brotherly love could be considered a synonym (Rom. 12:10; 1 Thess. 4:9; Heb. 13:1).
To be brotherly is to experience a warmth of feeling for another that transcends mere fraternal relationship. It is a genuine, sincere interest in another. Kindliness denotes benevolence, compassion, sympathetic forbearance, graciousness, and humaneness toward another. When one combines brotherly kindness into one term and cultivates the qualities symbolic of its meaning, a true saint in the household of God emerges (Eph. 2:19).
Since we have been given the knowledge and understanding of the eternal Plan of Happiness, it should be relatively easy to love everyone we associate with and demonstrate it with our words and deeds.
Since we're finishing another football season, I thought it appropriate to hear from Tommy Holmoe, former Cougar and present BYU Athletic Director: http://web.mac.com/gemcquain/iWeb/Site/09-Brotherly%20Kindness.html
