Kindness (958)
Jeeepers: The kindness of one can, and will be, so readily exploited by another. You need a sense of reciprocal loyalty between Human Beings to grant love and compassion any meaning... without this, the whole concept of being kind becomes twisted - are those that commit an act of compassion of a truly self-sacrificing nature? Or do they behave this way for the warm feeling it gives to them? Essentially, this is kindness itself becoming an act of self-service.
In my opinion, a truly kind person must never speak a word of the kind deeds in which they do. To promote your own virtue is selfish.I agree 100% with this statement. I am simple trying to express the need to show acts of kindness. I am not asking anyone to tell us what they have done,I'm simply asking suggestions of what people CAN do.
Stay cool !
So, after saying this, can anyone name something else we can do to show kindness towards our fellow man or woman ?In my opinion, a truly kind person must never speak a word of the kind deeds in which they do.

There's no need to justify yourself, I honestly didn't mean what I said with any one person in mind. It's just my general thought on the subject. Sorry, I appreciate why you may feel I was being personal.

In my opinion, a truly kind person must never speak a word of the kind deeds in which they do. To promote your own virtue is selfish.
In my opinion, sometimes telling about our kind deeds to others can and often does promote better ways of thinking for them. I don't see that as any bragging rights, but simply a way of sharing and perhaps, teaching the acts of kindness to others.In my opinion, a truly kind person must never speak a word of the kind deeds in which they do.

Perhaps..
To that I would say that a role model leads by example. The actions speak a lot louder than the words.
