Kindness

Kindness, the word itself evokes a lot passion in us although there is a huge differentiation of grasping the inner meaning of this word in our real life to the actual meaning of it. In our busy life almost all of us love to live a practical life which would mostly be evaluated from the perspective of gaining and losing and on the other there is a certain category of people who perhaps contemplate life beyond that.  An easily exemplification in this regard would be Mother Teresa, a name which perhaps represents the word kindness itself. She throughout her life contributed to help the struggling one compromising on her basic needs. However, having said it, we must think the fact even though people like her is very rare in the world and most of us prefer to live a life for us more than anyone else, is it really possible to be kind in every aspect of life?

The question itself may be quite bewildering as there is no easier way to define the answer. It is believed that when one can learn to think beyond I and bring into his or her consideration the mind-set of others can truly understand life in much better manner. Considering the pace and competition of modern era we must agree to the fact as well that giving importance to emotional preview of one’s mind is not always possible as reality stands much cruel than it appears in one’s imagination.    

Coming back to my discussion that is the inner meaning of kindness and its actual measurement in our lives, I must begin by clarifying the notion how it is to be, to be kind to others. Kindness is not a mere option, it is an emotion driven act that makes our life better than one can barely imagine. We can be kind from very core activities that we might not have given a thought so far in life but now we must give it a thought to realize the value of life from different perspective. For an instance being kind to anyone who would be thankful for our help, it can be a beggar on street or stray dog in our locality. An act that reflects our emotional connection for anything struggling or seeking our help shall be considered as kindness as long as we must feel it within. The reason to feel it within is to just make it a habit of being kind in most possible circumstances of our lives.

The difference between helping one without feeling just to aid other to fulfill one’s need and making an endeavor to get emotionally connected with people even while offering alms, the latter certainly turn you into a better human being and likewise bring peace within. Yet having said all these, we must think is it possible for us to be kind in every action, because this world seems to be overpowered by people with masked faces than the real one. Yes, indeed it is a tough call to distinguish between good and bad. Nonetheless, as mentioned above that kindness is not mere act that comes out of our daily dealings with life, its reality has much bigger value that can change our perception entirely towards life.

One of the major factors while one turns out to be a kind person from a general human being is that he or she would have a holistic transformation in their character. They as a human being would be at the best form of it and their kindness would not only be visualized through their actions but it would also evaporate through their behavior with others as well.

We can see nowadays on televisions and through many others mediums that people are striving to bring peace in life while attending programs that can enrich their mind full of prosperity. This practice of reaching to a different level of mind is gaining popularity among the well-to-do people than the struggling one. Despite all our efforts in true means it could not so far pave a way to a desirable outcome we intend to achieve. Now, if we try to consider or assess the fact behind that failure the first thing that would come to our mind is that as I mentioned it is utterly important to realize to read your mind to be kind than just to act to our impulse while helping others.

In most occasions we are acting to be kind while offering alms to a beggar but whereas it demands our own awareness to be awakened by the call of kindness. As soon as one can distinguish between these two facts we would be overpowered by the blessing and joy of kindness that would eventually lead to be the best version of ourselves. Instilling kindness in our character is just more like hammering our mind every moment which would eventually make it into our desirable state. Kindness can bring peace in us and make our world a better place for all the living beings.
