Kindness

Kindness trumps greed: it asks for sharing. Kindness trumps fear: it calls forth gratefulness and love. Kindness trumps even stupidity, for with sharing and love, one learns.

  1. Kindness is a characteristic that you need to have. If you are kind, you will receive blessings throughout your life. When you are kind, you will also have a lot of love in your life because for what goes around, comes around. If you are kind to people, other people will be kind to you back. If you do something stupid, your loved one will kindly correct your mistakes so that you will know next time.

  3. Showing kindness marks virtue. You should show random acts of kindness but make it a daily routine. Being kind to others will make you feel good about yourself. Kindness will always trump greed, fear, and stupidity because kindness will correct what is wrong and make it right.

  6. What this quote means to me is that....
    In order to fulfill any kind of relationship you have to have kindness.If your not kind to the person you claim you love, then most likely nothing will go right. Your going to have trust issues, problems believing what's right from what's wrong,it's just not going to work. So, basically kindness is the key to any relationship, you can't get through a relationship without it.

  12. This quote to me means that you should always have kindness in your heart.You shouldn't have to use ignorance to solve your problems.Love conquers all.

  13. This means that kindness can conquer ANYTHING. Sometimes that's all we need is a little bit of kindness. Now a days people don't like to respect or love another. Instead, they choose to say/do mean and hurtful things to each other. Enough is enough.

  14. Okay...I think this quote is saying that kindness can be alot of things basically. It can even cause stupidty meaning that it will cause someone to act foolish or something like that, but once something happens from someone being too kind they learn their lesson and sometimes things may change.

  17. With kindness you can overcome many things. It is a important characteristc that all of us should not only have but carry out. Kindness links together with respect and honesty. You should always be kind to others so they will be kind to you. But make sure your kindness is never taken as a weakness.

  18. What I get from this is if you are kind to others many great things can happen. I also think this is saying is kindness can over power many doubt and odds. And you should always try to be kind to people because you never know what can turn on you.So just treat others the way you would want to be treated.

  19. What i think this means is that,in some part of your life kindness will be the victor of everything. All you have to do is show a little bit of kindness and things can go a little smoother for you. Even if that's not you to show it, you should try and see how far you go. Cause you may never know you might even learn a thing or two if you just listen.

  21. Kindness is more powerful than a mean word. The bible says that a kind word can turn away raft. So say you are nice but you know someone who is not so nice. Once you have been around that person for a little bit then you notice that that person is now starting to become kind to others that they use to treat like garbage. It’s like your kindness has started to rub off on the people around you. And so it’s like your kindness shines out to help people and possibly change them for the better even though you might not think so.

  22. What this mean to me is, all the good thing that you do over rides all the negative also, caring is sharing. If your nice to some one, then that person is nice to them & it keeps going & going. Yah ! we well make mistakes, but you shouldn't let that over ride all the postive in your life.

  23. ..kindness is a characteristic that everyone should hold..its very important to be kind because you would expect everybody to treat you kind and show a thought of respect and be caring...kindness over rules meaness or evil doing...if you are kind to others you will recieve the same treatment yet if you act evil towards people then others will figure they could treat you the exact same way..

  24. To me this is saying that if you are kind to people nothing can go wrong. As long as you give to others like GOD has given to you, you will always come out good in the end. When people need what you have and you dont need it give to them because at the end of the day you gone get it back 10 times more.

    I would agree that this means that instead of expressing the negative sides of us, we should be kind to others and this will take you on higher levels in life,rather than staying on a low level of negative fellings every day.

  27. Well what this means is that sometimes kindness can lead to something else. And is shouldnt lead to fear at all and if you treat people people right and mature then stupidity wouldnt even be in the picture

  28. Kindness is something that we all should have. It can help you in various ways. If you are kind to others, that same action can be shown to you as well. With kindness and uplifting words, you can conquer many obstacles and also teach/show others along the way. Dont let people recognized or take your kindness as a weakness but as a strong, powerful characteristic.

  29. Kindness is a postive thing that everyone should have. It should be kindness in your heart. It can help you in multiple ways. You just have to accept it. Kindness can leads to something else. It can lead to some powerful obstacles that will be worth taking in a long-run. Two wrongs don't make a right so if one person is wrong just by you being wrong too don't make the situation better. It makes it worse. Just because they want to show their stupidity you can be the bigger person & show that you are very mature & kind at all times.

  30. The meaning of this quote to me is that kindness is a virtue in life. Meaning kindness is another way of expressing yourself in life within you and through other people in life. Also when surrounded by kindness, kindness shouldn't be misused or abuse to hurt the ones you love and cherish in life. Also sometimes in life showing people kindness might seem like its showing you that your soft, weak, and sometimes vulnerable but it shows that you care, and show us that God loved us out of the kindness of his heart and gave his only son for are sins. So in conclusion of this topic I think that kindness is going to have it up and down in life, but long as you take the right path in life there will be nothing that will fear you to show the kindness in your heart and within you.

  31. Being kind will overpower greed because there is so much love in your heart there won't be room for hate. Kindness means helping others in their time of need. Kindness is sharing the blessings that god has given to you in your life. Sharing your love with others shows thanks to good for blessing you with so much. Giving love to the less fortunate will bring more happiness in your life

  34. This qoute means to me is that kindness is you character.Kindness will get you a lot of place in life but if you are mean some people wouldnt even want to talk to you or even do anything for you.There are some people who are just kind only for some moments so that they can get something in return.Its not good to just be kind for a moment because once a person see how you really are then they won't do anything else for you and or they will be disappointed with you.So i say try to make kindness big in your character.

  35. What this means to me is kindness is what makes the world a somewhat sensible place. Without it we would be in even more chaos than we are already. The world is full of stupidity and anger. We need love and kindness to balance our everyday lives. It's what gives us hope that we have people in the world with a heart.

  36. What i think this means is that in some part of your life kindness will be the victor of everything. All you have to do is show kindness and things can go better for you and thats why being nice or kind can help you in the long run. You have to do it becouse you want to be kind not becouse you wont something in return.

  37. I believe this poem explains kindness as overtaking or stopping the negative objects in life, such as the things mentioned like greed, fear, and stupidity. By doing so, kindness brings forth the positive like love that conquers or over powers all the negative things in life. Kindness then becomes a learning process that eventually turns into wisdom in handling bad stuff in life.

  39. Basically, what this says to me is that kindness means alot. When you are kind to people, they'll be kind to you. Even when people are'nt kind to you, you still MUST be kind to them, it's the will of *God*. Kindness shows that you are a child of God because it's another characteristic of LOVE. *GOD* is love, so be kind. When we stop being hateful, which is a spirit of the devil, and start being kind an spread the love, then this world could be a better place.

  40. Kindness creates every good. At the same time, it can destroy anything evil. Kindness can and will better everything it touches. Show a person who only knows how to take to give and they will do the same. The world can only be bettered through kindness.

  41. Its saying kindness will always overcome. Without being kind to others; how do you expect people to be kind to you. Kindness brings love it means that you should always love one another. -Eric Claypool Jr. Period 2

  42. When you're kind, you're sharing,gratefull, loving, and sometimes even stupid. You might be so caught up with being kind to someone that you might just do something out of the box. Being kind is a good thing though, it's a good trait to have and practice to others. When you're being kind all of the time, you'll most definately get something in return.

  43. You need to be kind in order to make it in life. Kindness over powers any type of negative feeling. Even if some person might trump stupidity or greed you should never stop being kind. Kindness moves in a circle motion.

  48. Being kind is a trait that you must learn to go far in life. Malice and evil deeds will result badly. A nice attitude makes people want to help you more often. With a great support system, you learn more.

  49. I think it means that people who are naturally kind recieve the same kindness back. I also think it means that being kind can help you learn that life is not just about whatever you want it to be. Also that even though someone might not be kind to you doesnt mean that you have to traet them the same way.

  50. You can express kindness in so many ways. But you have to know the difference between being kind and gullible.You cant just be kind to everyone and not have anyone be kind back.Then you being so kind giving money to someone then its like there just using you.My dad always told me know whose your friends and who is trying to take advantage of you.

  51. I think that this means that kindness means alot if you plan on getting somewhere in life. Although some people use it in the wrong ways 2 get what they want and that makes karma takes it place. If you use kindness from your heart then good things will come onto you.

  52. In my opinion i think being kind is more then what you think it is. Being kind is like showing love. Love explains a lot of passion in you. So showing your kindness can be fullfilling someone else with something. But wit all the kindness you can be stabbed in the back.All I am saying show no love or kindness because love and kindness will get you killed! Period 3

    ReplyDelete
  53. To me this is saying that kindness can take many different forms. With kindness it can bring alot of emothions, such as fear. When you are showing kindness it becomes fearful because you may not want to put your all into someone and they give absolutely nothing back. In other words kindness shows that you care.
