Authors

Abstract

A human may be perfect in all ways but the quality of Kindness in a person makes him a perfect and full-hearted human being. Being good to people around us is considered as an act of kindness. When we support people emotionally or help them financially and be nice to them, all acts come in the category of kindness. Being kind to someone, gives us the feelings of a complete human and accomplishments. In various religious books Kindness has been described very beautifully which convey the message of being compassionate towards humans as well as other creatures. Kindness should be performed as a selfless act and while showing kindness one should not expect anything in return
