The Importance Of Kindness

The short story"Aha Moment" by Julia Alvarez demonstrates that the point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on.

For example when I became friends with people from my soccer team they showed me something that I am forever thankful for. I was never a person to go to church. I never understood it. My father is a catholic and my mother was religious to an extend. Since my father didn’t stay with us it was me and my mom and it seemed like we never had time to go to church. When I made friends with my soccer team-mates they brought me with welcome arms to their church. Now this is my church. I’ve learned kindness in a different way now. I treat others in a different light

In Miriam Toews novel A Complicated Kindness there are many references to pop culture. There are references to music, books and films. These all lead to the development of key ideas in the novel.

After this tragic event happened I took into consideration the importance of kindness as well as how much people over look the simplicity of it.

Literature is arguably the most significant aspect taught in high school. It allows us to expand our minds to interpret human nature and its consequences. Several high school curriculums neglect the importance of improving the novels to better fit current generations, which consequently reduces its impact. A Complicated Kindness is a novel by Miriam Toews that should be implemented in the English curriculum, as it not only relates to high schoolers in today’s society, but is also deemed one of the best Canadian books through its personal touch and prominent themes that relate to other important novels.

I wasn’t aware of the importance of doing good for others, until recently that I witnessed it with my own eyes. It all started when was at Chicago, a random man helped out a homeless man and bought him some food. I noticed as I was in line that the cashier then gave the helping man a free choice to pick something he wanted due to the action he did. After that day I began to make an attempt at helping out more and being a better person in general.

People often perceive kindness in different ways, some think of the smaller things and some the larger. Acts of kindness are like wonders of the world they make it a better place. For example mountains some see this grand rock that the sun reflects off of in the morning and others see a glorified piece of rock. Smaller acts of kindness are just as important as bigger ones. Usually when one thinks of the word kindness some act or person comes into mind and my person is Leticia Chavez a.k.a Ducky.

I have done many nice thing over my 18 years of being alive. The one thing that I have done that I would consider to be my nicest thing was spending time with one of my campers at my Summer camp that I work at Over the Summer. I am a summer camp counselor at my local Boy Scout camp. I have worked there for over five years now. I have earned my Eagle Scout during my time on this camp staff. I learned many skills through this job. The one skill that I learned was the ability to work with a homesick camper. This skill was helpful when one day I saw a kid sitting by himself. I went over and discovered that the boy was crying. I sat down with him and asked him his name and what was the matter. He wouldn't respond to me because he was too homesick

There is a time in every person’s life where a certain other person gives them words of strong encouragement. There is also a time in every person’s life where they distribute words of kindness to others as well.

* One thing is always sure when you 're a nice person; people will tend to reciprocate in your time of need because as individuals, we 're bound to face challenges, disappointments and looses at some point in our lives. When you 've been nice to others during their struggles, it 's more likely they will return the favor during your hard times. That is just human nature, most of us feel really motivated to help those that have helped us, i am a very sure bet in this regard. It’s an aspect of me that i strive to do more often because i feel that individual has slightly changed my world with his acts of kindness. This is significantly valuable and it makes us feel important which is something we all want as individuals.

Humans are inherently social being meaning they naturally tend to live in groups and that can consist of both kin and nonkin. While humans do form communities there are conflicts that have and will continue to occur because humans possess and exhibit traits both for and against prosocial behavior. These antisocial traits continue to thrive in humans because it is working in conjunction with other traits that are desired in humans or the trait themselves yields unexpected, but welcome behavior. Morality, human's conscience that dictates right from wrong, balances these traits and encourages this prosocial behavior, by enabling important inclinations such as cooperation and altruism that improve human interactions. Generally speaking, actions that benefit the community will in turn benefit the survival of that individual in the social environments constructed by humans. While there are methods to both suppress unwanted tendencies and encourage wanted tendencies, Boehm focuses a significant amount on these suppression techniques. The suppression of such “bad” behavior allows coherency in the group.

Being kind is another advantageous tip on how to live a happy and healthy life. Committing ourselves to be sympathetic to others along with to ourselves brings a new pinnacle of joy and gusto to us.
