Kindness and Charity

Hi!  This is Leafa, posting on Kindness.  No offense, but I'm slightly amazed that no one thought about this before, lol xD Just joking!

Kindness.  'Doing a kindness' means when you do something for another person, not because of a mutual need or an agreement where if you lose a game you need to do this for so-and-so.  You do it just out of the goodness of your heart.  Kindness can win others as friends, supporters, and if not those, people who respect you.  Three quotes are below that have to do with kindness--

"If you can't be pleasant, be as pleasant as you can."

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
― Mother Teresa

“For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

 For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
 For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
 For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
 For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
 People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
 As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”
― Sam Levenson

Kindness will brighten another's day, making them happy and cheerful and amiable.  That is how you gain friends from kindness.  And when you're unhappy, those friends will be there for you, loyal to you because of the kindness you showed them, and will give you kindness.  What comes from kindness is happiness.

And now for the charity part of my post.

Charity means giving as much as you can without making yourself too poor to buy what you need.  If a poor person that had only $30 gave $25 to a good, well-meaning charity, they give more in spirit than rich people who give thousands of dollars away to the same charity.  A multi-trillionaire can give away two billion dollars, and that will make a huge difference in the charity.  But that trillionaire can give away a trillion dollars without effecting their living style; it's like they gave $25 as much as it effects the trillionaire.  Sorry, that's veering off the subject a bit *looks away guiltily* Sorry about that.  But in my religion, we always give away 10% of our income to tithing, which is what we call charity.

Charity is very good.  It aids others, and it is a large aspect of kindness.

Thanks for reading, and have a nice day!:)
