All of us have heard the word kindness but what does it means will differ from person to person.

• Some people believe that giving food to street people or animals or any needy person as kindness.
• Some people feels giving donations to some orphanage or old age homes as kindness.
• Some people believe in doing some physical helps, like a young man helps an elderly person to lift his bag as kindness.
• Some people believe in helping everyone who are in trouble as kindness.

No one can deny the fact that all these are acts of kindness.

Kindness, where does it really needed? And where does it originate?

Kindness is needed where ever any living thing or a human is in grief or pain .

For example we can consider few cases.

Case 1: A bird lying in the road with broken wing.

Case 2: A plant or a tree dying with out water.

Case 3: A small boy starving for food.

Case 4: A middle age woman in depression.

All of them needs kindness.

• The bird needs kindness in the form of medical aid.
• The plant needs kindness in the form of water.
• The boy needs kindness in the form of food.
• The woman needs kindness in the form of positive words or emotional support.

Can you guess now where does it originates. Yes , kindness originates from each human heart who helps the suffering beings to get out of their grief or pain.

But do we ever think of showing kindness to someone who is in serious danger?

Let’s consider an imaginary case and analyze the scenarios.

Case: let’s imagine that I don’t know to swim and I was walking on the bank of the river and I came across a site where a child is drowning in the river water.

The Possible ways I could react in accordance with the imaginary case:

1. I walked away from that place as though I have not noted. Is it an act of kindness? certainty no. But many people consider this as correct because I don’t know to swim.

2. In the attempt to save the child, I jumped in to the water and lost my life. Is it an act of kindness? Yes it’s. But people will think this as foolish act rather then kindness.

3. I took a long stick and extended it to the child and helped the child to reach the bank. Is this an act of kindness?. Yes it is and all of us will agree to this as kindness. And I call this as sensible kindness.

Many of us will come across this kind of situation in our life, for which I would suggest sensible kindness.

I want to say this especially for the elderly person who should not feel themselves low. Yes they won’t have energy like young peoples, nor they have money like middle aged people. Instead of worrying and feeling low they can support their family by sharing their love and affection, in the case of wise person they can always be a guiding star. These are also an act of kindness.

Just stop complaining and worrying about the current crisis instead share your love, affection and motivate yourself and your family members and you can also help your family member to overcome their problems. This kindness will bring peace and joy to your family.

Don’t worry even if you lost your job or your livelihood or zero balance or fallen sick. Keep doing small act of kindness, GOD will certainly listen to your prayers.


Don’t feel low about your bad karma. The ALMIGHTY GOD has got lots of kindness and love, he will surely wash away all your bad karmas with his divine grace. But make sure you don’t hurt or harm anyone to feed your family. Instead show your kindness even when you are starving for food.

This human act of kindness will help the people in this world to live in peace.

It is easy to write or talk about kindness but hard to follow in practical life. But never forget the fact that ” the basic quality of human is kindness”.
Above all ALMIGHTY GOD’S KINDNESS.

Kindness and love can buy you the whole world; lectures and books and philosophy all stand lower than these.
