What is kindness?

Being kind and feeling kind are two different things. Being kind is actually about human emotions. We can talk about some kind of human nature. If we are inherently selfish, every human is somewhat different. Some are born more kind than others. It depends on the way we were actually raised and the limitations our parents set in the past. In my opinion, every single human soul has the ability to be kind or to be selfish. It depends on when we set our own boundaries on our own scale.

Kindness, as it actually is, is a condition for all society to work properly. If we all behaved selfishly, we would act more like wolves without boundaries. Conflicts would rise, and slowly the law would stop existing as we know it today. The social contract is a really interesting concept. There is a certain amount of kindness that is expected from every single being. Humans are societal animals, and we cannot exist without each other. This is how we are set. Our nature is to be kind to each other.
