Choose to be kind and change the world

“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.”

The fourteenth Dalai Lama

Kindness is one of the greatest virtues. It is a behavior that teaches you to act with generosity and respect for others. But a kind person never wants something in return. Your responsibility as a good human being is reflected through your behaviors. If you choose to be kind, polite, respectful, generous, and encouraging to others your world will smile at you.

In Indian culture, kindness has a special place. The ancient sages with their doctrines taught us kindness. In our epics, rituals, festivals, and kindness are always celebrated. In western philosophy and religion also kindness is also valued as a special possession of a character.  According to  Christianity, kindness is one of the seven virtues which a human being must possess.
