Kindness matters because when you are kind it makes others happy. When you show kindness it spreads love. If you show kindness to others then they will pass on the act and then another will and another until many people have been shown kindness. When we spread love with kindness you are being a better person. Showing kindness could be as simple as holding the door for the person behind you or just smiling at someone. Kindness can make the world a better place.
One thing you can do to show kindness is complimenting someone. This will make them feel better about themselves. Another way you can show kindness is by giving somebody a hug. When you see someone who looks like they are having a bad day giving them a hug could lighten their mood a little. One last example of showing kindness is helping someone when they are in need. This could be as simple as letting one of your peers borrow a pencil or as big as giving someone shelter who is homeless.
Kindness comes in many different shapes and sizes. It doesn’t matter how big, small, young, old, or tall. You can change the world with kindness one person at a time. If you want to make a change, set a goal and do your best to meet your goal and spread kindness!
