Kindness

help from others. Getting a compliment from someone, even if it is sincere, shouldn’t affect how I feel about myself. If I give these random acts of kindness, it can make me seem insecure. Lastly, if I am lying when dishing out a compliment, then I am responsible for the recipient's confidence being based off a lie.…

world does not mean that God ceases to be God; that Divine Good does not exist, or that He ceases to be an all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful God. The author’s purpose for writing chapter three, on Divine Goodness, is to explain that love and kindness are not synonymous, and just because they are not does not mean that God does not love humans. To love someone well does not mean only wanting their happiness, but sometimes means going through suffering with them and loving them through…

With the quote, “The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one.” it is easy to see what Emerson believes is a true friendship.

When she pays for a homeless man’s meal it shows a trait of compassion and kindness. Once one of the men taunt and make fun of the man for being blind and homeless Marguerite interferes and says “Let the poor man be-and give him some supper at my expense” (9).

Other people may believe Marguerite…
