The world would be a better place if we all acted with kindness.
Kindness is a virtue that can be exercised through selflessness, compassion, and goodwill. Kindness is the action or intention to do somebody a good deed.
It takes an active decision to be kind because it also means being willing to overlook people’s flaws and mistakes.
It takes a lot of self-control and patience to be kind, but the effects of this virtue on oneself are just as sound as those of others. But In our fast-paced, self-absorbed world, we lose sight of the importance of kindness and generosity. We forget to show the people in our lives that they matter to us.
Kindness can help you feel good about yourself because you are helping others in need; it improves your relationships with other people, and it can help you maintain your happiness in life.
