Practice Kindness

 

"If a person is kind, it doesn’t matter what he wears". Gustav Freytag

 

Kindness is our philosophy of life. One of the most important qualities a person should have. It makes us see the needs of others, help without expecting reward, and make the world a better place. Acting kindly helps us develop empathy and understanding for others. Through kindness, we can support and strengthen spiritual values ​​in society and give hope to those who find themselves in difficult life situations.

 

In our time, kindness is especially relevant. In a world where there are a huge number of global problems at the same time, kindness becomes a necessary wing that allows you to rise above self-care and stand in the way of helping others.

Research shows that kindness has a positive effect on our physical and mental health and is also important for our personal growth. When we show kindness, our bodies release the happiness hormone, which allows us to create a positive atmosphere, build trust and form deep connections.

 

A kind person is characterized by accepting the surrounding and current events and actions performed as they are, without attempts to remake and obtain a personality that is convenient for oneself. There can be no attempts at selfish interaction in the context of a good relationship

 

An important criterion is that real kindness can manifest itself only after a request for help or advice, in all other cases, when even seemingly good deeds are carried out for a person, but without his desire—this is only psychological violence.

 

True, sincere kindness is always a sign of strength and a spiritually developed person. People do real good deeds not from time to time, but constantly. The power of kindness lies in the fact that in response to one’s good deeds, on a conscious level, a person does not expect or hope for any benefit for himself. The fact that good will return and pay off—many know, feel, and understand from their own experience. But the impulse to do something good always comes from the heart.

 

We do good deeds from the bottom of our hearts. If good deeds are done unselfishly, then a person will definitely receive his portion of happiness in return.

 

We can say that kindness is the best thing in a person. A person does good deeds at the behest of his soul and the call of his heart. A kind person shows care and compassion for other people. A kind person shows mercy towards another person.

Kindness and mercy are closely related qualities. The desire to provide help, express support, and show mercy comes from a good heart.

 

Kindness is a wonderful feeling that makes a person’s soul full. And mercy is the action of a good soul.

A kind person is characterized by accepting the surrounding and current events, actions performed as they are, without attempts to remake and obtain a personality that is convenient for oneself. There can be no attempts at selfish interaction in the context of a good relationship.

 

An important criterion is that real kindness can manifest itself only after a request for help or advice, in all other cases, when even seemingly good deeds are carried out for a person, but without his desire—this is only psychological violence.

 

“When I do good deeds, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. This is my religion."
Abraham Lincoln

 

Let's see what God says about kindness and good deeds.

 

Kindness is the defining force in life and one of the main signs of humanity. And man, created in the image and likeness of God, by doing good deeds, manifests divine power and acts according to the will of God. Evil does not come from God; it is a consequence of a person’s choice, the result of his momentary desires. According to Christian laws, goodness should bring joy and happiness. Good is done in love. Goodness should not harm other people.

 

In Christianity, much attention is paid to the eternal struggle between good and evil because everything is known in comparison. Kindness equates to mercy. It manifests itself in the desire to help those in need. Kindness in religion is considered a spiritual quality that must be cultivated throughout life. The Church encourages righteous actions because they make people humane. A person who does good deeds receives love as a reward.
