Kindness is more than a virtue.
Kindness is often thought of as a simple virtue. But it is actually one of the most powerful. It transcends misunderstandings and learned fears. It is the universal language of compassion.
1) Kindness can serve as a bridge to connect individuals with others in their community.
2) Acts of kindness can have a positive impact on mental health – for both the giver and the recipient.
3) An act of kindness can disrupt unhealthy cycles of pettiness or and anger.
4) Practicing kindness cultivated the related feelings of empathy and understanding.
5) Kindness can be a cascade into multiple acts as many will pay it forward.
6) Individuals who practice kindness also build resilience into their communities. A network of kind people build bonds of trust and cooperation, which helps in overcoming challenges.
I hope someone is kind to your this week.
