Kindness is a natural quality of heart

Kindness makes you the better person. It gives you satisfaction. Doing a small kind deed for someone may not be much valuable to us but it really will matter for someone in need. Suppose a person is in some urgent need of money and you have enough money to at least help the person, it won’t really matter for us much giving a small share of our money, but for the person who is in need will surely be benefitted and will surely bless you. And also at the end of the day, even you haven’t really done anything productive, you will have this satisfaction for doing this small work of kindness. After all in this selfish world, we need more kind people.

Your small acts of kindness will not only have a positive impact on the people that surround you, but they will also impact your life in positive ways. Some call it “The Law of Reciprocity.” This law states that when someone does something nice for us, we have a deep-rooted need to do something nice in return. It doesn't take much to be kind. Sometimes just a smile will do! Kindness is the key to a happy life. On this planet, we are a bunch of scared apes just trying to make it through life without too many injuries, illnesses, and unhappy experiences.

Being kind is as simple as saying “hello”, “please", and “thank you", and meaning it, when you're dealing with other people. You don't go and donate to 30 charities and then post about it on social media, that's not “kind". Now if you donate to 30 charities and keep it quiet, that's true kindness because you're doing it for them, not for yourself. None of us are perfect, and we will all drop the ball sometimes and say or do something to someone else we probably regret deep down inside. That's normal. You can make a lot of other people's day much more pleasant simply by treating them as you would treat yourself. Being nice to people can help you feel good about yourself.

Kindness is the most fundamental trait for survival of humanity. Without going to describe what kindness is , I would like to describe how kindness makes the world a beautiful place to live in. As we all know, time is hard. In this apocalyptic time ,We’ve been given no timeline, and that’s another special challenge of this crisis. It’s rolling rather than fixed, diffuse instead of discrete. It resists the drawing of any parameters around it. We have no idea what will ultimately be asked of us, so we can’t know what new emotional muscles to build, but we can hope along with taking every minute precautions to fight this epidemic. The whole world and humanity is suffering. The only thing we can do is hope. But a little bit of kindness added is going to save many lives, battling from pandemic.

Why I am talking about all these is because I have grounding realisation of what kindness is. After losing two family members due to covid , I have nothing except telling people to be more kind and less selfish . So that, we can overcome this pandemic. Realising now, even if ,people can't be kind enough to help physically. They can help morally, mentally. Yes I understand that situation. People who can't help financially, that's too okay. They can be a bit kind to talk, motivate. But here people, who can't any of the things mentioned above, People who morally bogged down other needy people, mentally ,who act selfish. ‘They really need to understand that a little bit of kindness wouldn't harm them.’

I know covid has brought a hard time , but it should not make people 'heart hard'. All We can hope is , “This too shall pass”. There is the Fact that “human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.” What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.

And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory. And I know we shall overcome this. Kindness is probably one of the most important “traits” that a person can possess. When a person displays kindness- all else falls into place. It benefits so many people including yourself. Even people that you may never realize that you’ve affected.

And my hometown school was pretty small, and in the middle of nowhere. Most students probably knew the other students... And if they didn’t know them, they’d at least seen them before . So it was pretty obvious when there was a new student in high school. I was a senior in high school, it was mid year, almost summer. There was a commons area where you ate lunch. The tables were grouped by certain types of kids. (Per the students) every table had their groups. It was a closed campus so you couldn’t leave the school during lunch.

At the table where my friends and I usually sat- was completely full - but other kids had pulled up chairs to sit around the kids but didn’t even have any table space at that table. 2 of my friends and I were like screw that- we’ll sit at our own table. Which was right next to that table. And so It was just myself and two of my friends sitting at a table. As we were eating I looked over and saw a boy sitting alone. He was nervous, shy acting and was obviously a new student. He looked at me a few times then he quickly looked away.

I didn’t know if I should or not but I decided to get up and walk to his table and ask him if he wanted to sit with us. My friends were looking at me like what are you doing?!! I didn’t think that he actually would even sit with us. But he immediately grabbed his tray and followed me. From then on, that kid always sat at the cool kids table at lunch. Even if I wasn’t there. And Everyone was nice to him. Later I was called to the office by the vice principle. He told me that he had saw what I did that day and that he was proud of me for making it easier for another student for at least those 30 minutes during lunch each day. it doesn’t cost anything to be kind.

It doesn’t hurt anyone to be kind. And it makes you feel happy. I always wonder what ever happened to that kid. I wonder if I have ever crossed his mind? Habitual kindness indicates a high-level of personal moral integrity. Kindness encourages trust in an individual’s overall character. Doing kindness can sometimes inspire others to follow the example and be more kind, themselves. If more people practice kindness, the social environment of this world can become more peaceful and pleasant for all who exist in it. Cheers!
