Kindness

Resim
The Importance of Kindness Kindness is like a bright light in our world. Imagine you are walking on a dark road, and someone shines a light for you. That light is like kindness. It helps us see and feel warm and happy. Kindness is when we do something nice for others without waiting for them to do something nice back.  Why is kindness important? Have you ever felt sad or alone? Think about a time when someone did something nice for you. How did it make you feel? Maybe they helped you pick up something you dropped, or they gave you a smile when you were feeling down. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. They can change a bad day into a good one.  Kindness is also like a boomerang. When you throw a boomerang, it comes back to you. Kindness works the same way. When you are kind to others, you make them happy. And seeing them happy can make you feel happy, too. This is why people say kindness comes back to you. Kindness is very important in making friends. Think about it. Woul
