Kindness

Kindness is always positive. You can receive or give kindness. Kindness is an action that is nice and makes you or someone else feel good. It could also be something that someone else does to you. In some situations, people might think they’re being kind to someone but really, they aren’t. If you give someone your math homework, you might think you’re helping your friend out because you’re helping them get their homework done but what you’re really not helping them at all. If they copy your work, they won’t understand the method or concept of the math and they won’t succeed with their grades.

Can kindness be negative? I feel that kindness is always positive. Shouldn’t kindness be from the heart? If someone forces you to be kind, I feel that it’s not your act of kindness. It’s the person who told you do it. Can kindness have faults? You might think that you’re being kind to someone but they might find your action insulting. Perhaps it’s just the thought that counts? If you WANT to be kind, then whatever you’re doing, must be kindness.

Today, while everyone was getting their makeup done for the play, people were getting really nervous and they were complaining that their make up looked horrible. I encouraged them and said they looked fine. I feel that’s an act of kindness because I was complimenting people and gave them confidence in themselves. I made them feel good and as stated before, kindness is all about goodness and positivity.
