"Kindness is the
language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see"- Mark Twain.
Right
said 'Mark Twain'. Kindness is the universal language that is comprehended
beyond the boundaries. Each and every individual understands and speaks this
language. An act of kindness never goes futile. If you are kind to someone it
will reflect in your and his behaviour. Being kind to others instils a positive
feeling and makes this world a better place to live.
Kindness is one of the seven virtues. It can be defined
as the righteous and caring attitude towards other. But the definition of the
kindness does not limit to these two words only. Kindness is a complex term to
comprehend yet simplest to realise. Showing kindness towards others gives a
feeling of joy and mirth to the recipient. The doer is also satiated by the
feeling of warmth and compassion. Kindness is the basic driving force of the
nature. The nature is so kind to us that it helps in flourishing the
civilizations. The rising sun and the wandering clouds are all the miracles of
nature only. Though, the perspective completely changes with the scientific
reasoning, yet everyone agrees that the whole cosmos conspires to sustain life
and hope.
Kindness is taught by every religion. Be it Christianity,
Hinduism, Sikhism or Islam or any other religion to name, all teach to express
kindness towards others. The term is not only restricted to human
implementation. But cruelty against all the living creatures is a sin. Even the
mute animals wave their tail as a return gesture to kindness shown to them.
Similar response is shown by plants. They grow large and bear fruits as a
response to the kind behaviour of their care taker. Nature has own ways of
expressing gratitude and kindness.
Kindness is not a virtue to be adopted or showcased in
specific situations. Rather, it should be imbibed as the basic behavioural
attribute by the human beings. Kindness is not only a religious virtue. But it
can be very well adjusted in all spheres of life. Being kind to your siblings
or peers helps to build a strong family foundation. Showing kindness to
neighbours and colleagues help in developing a positive social environment.
Even the small considerations and selfless acts of kindness may help in growing
business in leaps and bounds. As said earlier, the language of kindness is
comprehended by each and every living being. If you have been kind to someone
by ignoring his small fault or simply said, 'never mind, take care next time',
will always be remembered by that person. You never know! You might have hit
the jackpot. As the most of the times selfless deeds result in the most
favourable and flourishing deals of the life.
'What goes around comes around'. So, just be polite and
kind in your behaviour and the same will come back to you. Being kind to self
is equally important as being kind to others. Don't be harsh to yourself and
give space to the trivial mistakes in life. As, we only learn by committing
mistakes. Learn from the experience and move ahead in the positive direction.
