Kindness is a Virtue

Kindness is a virtue because it’s a way of seeing people being nice to other people. Kindness can be defined as friendly and polite to anyone. It can show the positive side of a person.  In the dictionary, a virtue means a behavior showing high moral standards. Kindness is definitely showing high standards.

For me kindness is an important trait of someone personality. As I was growing up, I have also been told that I am kind to many people. I am kind because I want to be treated the same way I treat them. I wouldn’t want to be mistreated differently because it’s rude and no one wants to be in that type of situation. When I see people being friendly and generous I see that they are a well-respected person. I can also tell that the person has respect towards people. Being rude and disrespectful for no reason show low standards, that can have a bad affect towards the person.

When people are kind, it shows that they can be a good person. Kindness and a virtue relate to each other because they are both positive. It is important to be kind to people because you can make their day. We don’t know what people go through in their life. With kindness being shown, it can cheer up their day. It is easy to show kindness to the people around you. I would definitely agree that kindness is shown in the best people.
