Mental Peace is important to me, whenever I do a kind deed, something as simple as, donation or speaking to someone with a smile and watching their reaction to my actions, i feel super good. More Kindness: The more kind you are, the more kind you become and this is something like a barometer that keeps going up and down depending on how much kind you are at that phase in your life. Happiness: When you are kind to someone and someone tells something like - “May God bless you” or simply “Thank you, that makes me happy. Very happy, really.

Karma: The more kind you are, the more kind you become and people like to be kind to kind people. This is what you get in return for your actions and this really is the case, trust me. Respect: People respect people who are kind. The best kind of vibes radiates off kind people. Trust me. There are more that has to be felt rather than put into words. You can try to be kind and see the results for yourself and I cannot recommend that enough. What I have found throughout my years is that kindness is not something we try to be but it is something that is part of us. It costs us nothing and it expects nothing. Kindness does not follow a scale where one act of kindness is bigger than another. A smile and telling someone you hope they have a wonderful day might have been just what that person needed to make their day and given them needed hope.

Kindness is something we can’t take with us when we reach the end of our lives. It is meant to be given out by us while we are here and it never ever gets depleted. When you smile at that baby and he/she smiles back not only did their heart grow a little but so did yours. I have found the kindness we show to others reflects back to us in powerful ways. I have not won the lottery or a new car but I’ve never expected monetary rewards for being kind. The baby that smiled back at me when I smiled to them is far more rewarding. Money and things come and go, but kindness is forever. Think of kindness as paying it forward.

You get much gratification from being kind. I think it's of much more importance then being right. Some say you may be accused of ulterior motives being kind! “I say be kind anyway." I believe kindness and happiness is like a perfume you can't poor onto other's without getting a few drops on yourself. I also believe you should always try to be kind because almost everyone you meet is fighting some kind of a battle, or hardship. It's not our job to play judge and jury, to determine who is worthy of our kindness and who is not. No act of kindness, no matter how small it may be is waisted, one kind word can change someone's entire day after all we rise by lifting others.

Even saying it in a fictitious way “kill them with kindness.” just saying be kind to the unkind, is too always have the upper hand. On a macro level equity and equality would increase. For example people would begin to find middle ground between personal responsibility and social responsibility. To be kind to others I would reduce my need of reliance on social systems such as taking care of myself on multiple domains(physical/psych health). Those who have this would also find the need to assist others reach this goal. This would inevitably effect all systems from the nuclear family to political ones. Since everyone cares about each other’s well-being, we would focus on humanity and the environment too. Basically the world would be a lot better.

However excessive self-interest that is associated with exploitation would be minimal and society would use positive intervention methods instead of punitive. They are the best in terms of happiness, equality, and equity. Respect, happiness and satisfaction is what you get for being kind. Being kind is a good act and believe it or not every good thing counts in life. There's nothing wrong in being a kind person and it's actually better than being a rude person. Being kind requires courage and strength. It is a willingness to full-heartedly enjoy someone else's success.

Being kind helps you to become selfless. It gives satisfaction and happiness which is just amazing. A kind word, a smile, opening a door, offering your seat, or helping carry a heavy load , celebrating someone you care for, thanking someone, helping an elder, sharing food, donating old clothes, feeding a poor etc are different acts of kindness and the amount of happiness you receive is just insane. There is an intrinsic good if you are kind. This cannot be conjured simply by thinking you are kind or pretending you are kind. You need to carry out the kindness.

What is the intrinsic good that I am talking about? It is happiness. Altruism makes you happier. A life that is about others and not about oneself is a happier life. Take for example, buying Christmas gifts. You will feel happier if you are bought a gift for someone than bought something for yourself. Or, when you helped an old lady cross the road. Or, when you stood up to a bully for your friend. Here is a philosophical conundrum for you to think about: If you know being kind feels good and you deliberately be a kind person, are you then helping others just to feel good about yourself? Cheers!
