What is kindness? Each of us has thought about this question at least once in a lifetime. Kindness can be called a feeling of compassion for a neighbor. In frequent cases, this is accompanied by sacrifice in relation to others and self-neglect. In other words, when a person does not know how to refuse or say “no,” then for someone this is accompanied by a feeling of pity, someone due to good deeds increases his level of significance and self-affirmation. Kindness can be selfless and pure. Although at present this is becoming less common. In general, the kindness of all is different, but it is called to one main goal - to help another person.
Goals of kindness
Selfless help to another person should be one of the goals in the life of each of us. Someone always needs a helping hand, and it is necessary to extend it, because someday any of us may find ourselves in the place of needing words of comfort, good deed, deed. Therefore, if there is an opportunity to help, this must be done. And then some will have no problems with conscience.
Kind people
A good person is one who, in relation to other living beings, does things that bring them any good. At the same time, the benefits are mutual, since with a good deed a person has increased his level of significance, self-esteem. And the one to whom the good deed was helped in solving a particular situation.
Kind soul man
Who is he? And have such people remained in our society today? The kindest person ... So some people are sometimes called. This is how they characterize a benefactor who helps others and asks for nothing in return. Of course, in order for others to respond this way, you need to do many good deeds and help more than one person. However, the words of gratitude and the happy eyes of people are worth helping the needy in trouble, if this is in line with our capabilities. Such actions give strength, energize, spiritualize.
What to do to become kinder?
From the moment of birth, the child is pure and innocent, he is kind to everyone who surrounds him, and only his upbringing, the example of his parents and the attitude of those close to the baby make him good or evil.
Then the child grows, character is formed, attitude towards parents and people around. And in the process of becoming an individual, such a quality as kindness or the absence of this character trait appears.
The mistake of many people is that they believe that the character cannot be changed. People say: "Humpback grave correct." However, it is not. Temperament cannot be changed, because we are born with it, but the character can always be changed. And therefore, if a person does not show kindness in relation to another living being - he should not be blamed. Different can serve this reason. Perhaps he himself does not know how to help himself in this, how to become a good person.
In order to become a little better, you need to understand yourself, understand what makes you, for example, angry, aggressive, unfriendly, envious. Sometimes it is very difficult to do this, because "you can’t find a speck in your eye either."
For example, many are forced to be angry by a financial flaw, a constantly drinking spouse, problems with a child or health or envy of another person, and so on. Having understood yourself, you need to resolve this or that situation. If financial problems - to change jobs, with a drinking husband - to break up, with a child - to build relationships and understand his behavior, health can be improved by going, for example, to rest. Of course, this sounds easy, in fact it is much more complicated, but each of us is capable of it. You may need the help of a specialist, but all this is for your own good.
