A PORTAL TO HARMONIOUS SOCIETY

In order to feel love in a society, it starts with being and having kindness to humanity. As
humans, we define kindness is next to being caring, generous, benevolent, and such. But, what
really is kindness? Is it that important? Does it affects the society and its people?

Kindness is the quality of being warm-hearted, humble, and simply being kind to others. It is
an eight letter word only yet it matters a lot! It makes a difference in such a way that if only one
would possess even small acts of it, for sure it will give them happiness. Happiness that will
inspire others to keep going and to do the same.

Random acts of kindness even small or big could contribute a lot to humanity. For example,
by simply throwing your trash to its proper place which is the trash bin, helping an old person
crossing the street, helping your mother in household chores, sharing a piece of your blessings to
those who have nothing, lending a hand to those who needs your help, apologizing to those
people you hurt, simply saying “thank you” to the people who cause you happiness or give you
good things, encouraging someone to keep going, being honest in everything you do and being
sensitive to your words and actions towards other people. Through these simple acts of
kindness, you will avoid getting in trouble with other people instead you will earn love and
respect towards each other. As we all would imagine, if all people in a society love and respect
each other then peace will reigns! Imagine how beautiful and astonishing our world will be!

As we can read in Colossians 3:13, “Bearing with one another. And forgiving one another, if
anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do”. This
means that part of being kind, you should know how to forgive those people who had forsaken
and do wrong things to you. Besides, dwelling on those issues in your life would cause no good
to you instead forgive those people and start creating beautiful beginnings.

Hence, Kindness really matters! Through it we could give way to a harmonious kind of
society.Kindness does not really have that high standards or criteria to possess it. It just simply
needs you to be true to yourself and to others in a most morally acceptable and ethical ways
possible.

From the statement of the 14th Dalai Lama, “When we feel love and kindness towards
others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner
happiness and peace” because kindness should be our life’s principle! It is the basic way TO BE
GOOD and TO DO GOOD!
