Being a kind person is about making the right decisions and acting with empathy. There are many ways to be kind, but it starts with the decision to do so. It’s not about being perfect, or being generous, it’s about doing what you can when you can. It’s about doing your best to make the world a better place.
Being kind can mean being honest with ourselves and others, being reliable, and trustworthy and caring. Being patient and respectful of other people’s feelings, and taking responsibility for our actions. It’s about disagreeing respectfully, about making compromises that are still representative of our values. It’s about showing affection for, and paying attention to people. It’s about thinking of other people’s needs along with our own.
