In real life there are individuals who make decisions and…

Yet in these stories the other side of kindness, the lying is made easier by it and the presence of kindness in these pieces of…

Demonstrations of kindness illustrate, in the clearest conceivable way, that we are helpless and subordinate creatures who have no preferred asset over each other. In the event that kindness beforehand must be legitimized by a God or by divine beings, or situated in ladies and youngsters, it is on account of it has must be designated—and authorized, and sacralized, and romanticized, and sentimentalized—in light of the fact that it originates from the piece of ourselves that we are most…

Helping others makes me feel fulfilled and gratified and that alone is more than enough. This poem highlights the belief that acts of kindness do not demand anything in return and that they benefit both parties.
