I believe there is kindness in everybody by JH. Here is a quote by F Scott Fitzgerald, “To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times what people need is not a brilliant mind but a special heart that listens.” A couple things that help me believe this is memories of bad days turned around and that little voice in my mind saying to be kind constantly.
Whether you are the only one that believes there is kindness within somebody and everybody else thinks they are the biggest jerk. There has to be some kindness. Something had to have happened in the past nobody is born rude. You just have to know how to find a way help them find how to be kind how to have joy in their life. If you are kind it might help them want to help others to be as well. It might be easier for me because I grew up with a family that we try to be kind to everybody. There was the occasional fight of course but when we stopped and thought about how stupid the thing we were fighting about was we said I am sorry and laughed about it. Even without growing up with that you can be kind you just have to remind yourself constantly

My birthday was great in the morning but when I got to school somebody said something to me that made me feel down and sad all day I walked slower did not smile as much my friends did not see the difference but somebody who was normally by them self-asked me the most simple question. They asked, “are you okay?” Since then, I have believed that everybody has kindness, even somebody who has been left alone and has nobody to talk to can find
The virtue of kindness is not meek it is not niceness. Kindness holds firm to its foundation and values, but it does it in a way that is gentle. Kindness is not naïve, it is wise and discerning (Corey, 211). People confuse being nice as kindness because on the outside both are soft. The inside is what shows the difference. Niceness has no substance, it will go wherever society takes it. Kindness is different, it has a firm, solid center (Corey xv). The components of soft edges and firm centers make kindness warm and inviting and yet it remains deeply rooted to its core beliefs.
Every school's purpose is to teach children everything they need to know to be able to survive in the real world, it would be assumed that teaching children kindness would be part of it.
It’s very simple, but creates a world of difference. This means so much to me, in so many ways. Kindness will make a person feel better, even if they aren’t that way themselves. I’ve seen the change simple kindness can make. It can change the outlook on someone’s life, or give someone a little hope.
In my opinion, being nice to people is the foundation for almost everything you’ll do in this world. This book has made me think about the effects of being kind to people. Now, I see that if I do something nice for someone, it not only makes them happy, but it has an impact on me too. I also realize that it influences many things in my life. I see how important it is now to be nice to people, because kindness gets you everywhere now.
“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see” – Mark Twain.
To make matters worse, I had no one to turn to. I sat alone at lunch for weeks, shut out by people who had known each other since kindergarten. For the first time, I watched from the outside as everyone else seemed to meet success at every turn. People were nice to me, but not anything real. My own fear and loneliness made it seem like any extension of kindness was fake. A girl named Anna, who I now call a close friend, asked me countless times to eat lunch together, but my own anxieties held me
“Sometimes it 's easy to walk by because we know we can 't change someone 's whole life in a single afternoon. But what we fail to realize it that simple kindness can go a long way toward encouraging someone who is stuck in a desolate place.” ~ Mike Yankoski
Seneca writes, “kindliness forbids you to be over-bearing towards your associates, it forbids you to be grasping” (Seneca). One who is warm- hearted has an easier time dealing with people. Kindliness allows one to treat others as one would want to be treated. Kindliness serves one greatly in a new surrounding or environment. Seneca also states “In words and deeds shows itself gentle and courteous to all men” (Seneca). Being kind through our words can help one build strong and happy relationships. Being kind through deeds shows that one is willing to help those in need and not expect anything from such deeds. Kindliness is a great virtue to have because it serves as a gateway to better human interaction and
Have you ever heard the expression “kill ‘em with kindness”? To me this means, no matter how much someone has hurt or disappointed you always be kind to them.
People can be rude and disrespectful and the younger people with watch them and do what they are doing. In the movie The Grinch Stole Christmas the Who’s were leading by example by being kind and respectful and eventually the grinch turned out kind and respectful and brought back the gifts and things the grinch was a cold hearted person but, he turned
What is being rude? Being rude according to its definition is being offensively impolite or ill-mannered. In todays society, whether its at home, in school, at the store, at work, or even on social media, the act of being rude is on the rise significantly.
It isn’t always easy to be kind to others, nor is it easy to fake being kind. Some try to be kind by offering or showering one with stuff. People all around do this, they think giving people things equals being kind and fills heart the same way a compliment would. However, it does not work like that. One does not feel the same way after getting an object as they do when they are are told they look gorgeous, or when someone holds the door for them, or even when someone tries to be inclusive. Often when someone gifts something they do so expecting something in return, they did not do it out of kindness of their heart. A kind person is giving from their hearts, whereas those who give gifts thinking that is being kind are doing so to feel
Aesop once stated, “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” In this time period, many people around the globe only focus on their life, and they do not focus on lifting others up. Kindness is one word that can change lives, even when the person that shows kindness doesn’t even know the impact they are making. One act of kindness does not appear to be very important, but every act makes an impact. The world is full of hatred, war, and terrorism, but anybody can start to make a change. Some reasons that any act of kindness has an impact include other people needing positivity, the start of a chain reaction, and the benefit of other people in the world.
Kindness is the key to most everything. Being kind means taking the high road, even when someone has wronged you. It means serving other people, even under inconvenient circumstances.It involves looking for the good in others, and even helping them to see the good in themselves. Kindness is spreading happiness to make other’s day better and by making them smile. Kindness is defending those who are picked on by others, sitting by those who are lonely, and saying hi to someone in the hall. Kindness is being someone who wants to build up those around them.
The act of kindness comes by very seldom. “Being kind and generous to people will take you very far in life” is what my great grandmother always told me. Smiling from ear to ear, eyes gazing across the room and that special touch are all it took for her to make someone day. Many days were made if you were surrounded by her and saw that big, bright, and beautiful smile. Soft hands are what she had from giving her entire life. No one went without, you could be a total stranger but she would give you her last.
