Your book has significantly changed my view of the kindness in our society. Kindness is like love, it blooms in some and lingers in others. I grew up in New Ulm, Minnesota—a small town with a deep passion and obsession for their German heritage with a population of around 13,000. Although with this town, it has a lack of diversity.

What is kindness? Kindness is often described as the qualities of a benevolent nature, friendly, and simply being considerate.

Once you figure out what you need to carry out to be kind it becomes an effortless task to do. When a person becomes more charitable and considerate it creates a ripple effect like a drop of water dripping into a calm pond
thought kindness was, what would they say? Would they give a generic answer? Would they say they didn’t know? Many would say that is being nice to others. But is that REALLY what kindness is? Is kindness for people to show appreciation for others? Is it a way to show that you love someone? Not recently. Recently it has become a mask, a way to gain attention, and a way to make people think you are better than them. Kindness is a mask people use to hide their true identity. People use kindness as an
Kindness is the act of doing something nice towards others by showing concern and generosity. Everyday we experience an act of kindness from our friends, family, or strangers and without someone acting kind to us then they start to act hostile to us. I was taught by my parents to always show kindness to everyone around me no matter what kind of person they are; therefore, I started to act kind everyday by showing kindness to my friends and family. While I acted kind to others I was able to receive
bought and recovered, then finally sold to people who knew him as Black Beauty, and determined to never sell him. The theme of kindness runs through the entire book. Kindness is when someone thinks about the feelings of everyone else (not discriminating between looks, actions, or social status), and makes a conscious, continuous, and wholehearted effort to treat them well.

Kaitlin D’Souza – From Catty to Kind I believe in kindness, towards others like and unlike ourselves. Kindness can be as simple as a homework reminder text, or as big as buying concert tickets to cheer someone up. Our kindness has the potential to inspire others to change for the better. When I was younger, I could afford to be catty because I was the one that everyone wanted to sit next to. I don’t know why but everything always came easy to me; school, conversation, and friendship. I effortlessly
Kindness I believe in the power of kindness. Have you ever thought that being kind could change at least one person's outlook on the day? Being kind is a simple gesture that could make a huge difference in someone’s life. Kindness is something I believe in because you never know how life is for someone behind closed doors, you don’t know someone’s emotional state, and just being an all-around kind person will make you feel better about yourself.
