To me kindness means to show respect and do something good for others instead of doing harm. Literally, kindness is a nature of human beings which creates benevolence, understanding and humanity.
“A generous heart, kind speech and a life of service and compassion are the things that renew humanity”.
– Lord Buddha
Kindness is one of the best moral character of human beings. The person who has this quality is love and respected by all. At present, people are very busy with their work and don’t think for that person who are struggling to survive. But we have to keep in mind that we can not live without the help of others in the society. For this, kindness is a must to live happily in the society.
To create a kinder society, at first all needs to be kind towards other. While practicing kindness, we should not do it because of getting anything return and perform this work selflessly. If we do something good for others, one day someone also be kind on us. We can make a society kinder by doing various charitable works. We will perform kindness only for the smile of others not for own profit. In every religions, there described the importance of kindness.
