Gentleness and Kindness Can Change the World
Gentleness and Kindness can do more for you than for others around you.
You Can Change the World through Kindness and Gentleness
When we think of being gentle and kind, we think of doing good to someone, don’t we? That someone includes you!
According to the dictionary, gentleness is a noble, distinct action, it expresses grace, elegance, education, value.
The University of Buffalo has done some research that suggests gentleness and kindness are part of our DNA. Their study states that “some people can be born with certain genes that give them specific receptors for oxytocin and vasopressin. These two hormones in their bodies are associated with feelings of love and generosity, but “we all can strive to develop such a good habit.
“Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength.” ? Ralph W. Sockman
Kindness makes us be a polite, courteous person, doesn’t it? But being kind is much more than that, it’s being different, it’s continually looking for ways to help someone, it’s loving all people like yourself, it’s not getting hurt with ease, but seeking to soothe and do good.
Infect the World with Kindness
Besides doing for others around you, being kind does much for you. Doing good brings satisfaction to those who practice it, brings peace to the heart and relief to the soul.
Kindness is a contagious action, for those who receive a gentle gesture, feel motivated to give it back. Imagine if everyone acted kindly? We would live in a much-balanced world.
Unfortunately, we can’t change the world, but we can improve our home, our community, change our workplace, study group, and everywhere we meet one another with kindly little actions.
To Be Gentle is To Be Elegant
To be gentle is a gesture of love towards our neighbor. Being kind is a condition and thus a way of life. We can always choose to act in this way because we are sure that simple, gentle attitudes are worth more than a thousand words.
Be gentle with yourself. Be gentle, despite anything.
Being kind to people we meet is very easy, but surprising a stranger with our kindness is something spectacular. The novelty is that’s because it, it may be surprising for us and for the other: We may have the surprise of seeing the wonder in the face of the other and the other the surprise of seeing in us that the world still has its daily charms: a smile, a help, a dose of real humanity.
Good Mood
The Intention to be Gentle and kind is an initiative that influences our mood. Have you ever felt sad after hugging someone? You may have felt a situation that made you feel inspired to embrace, but the point is that we are happy when we could touch and improve someone’s life. Besides, happiness has a lot to do with kindness. Generally, people who take part in volunteering activities are pleasing and very self-motivated.
In the professional area, things can improve as well because gentle-kind people seem to be more honest, that is, more trustworthy and loyal. In this way, great responsibilities can be given to you, and the people you work with feel comfortable having a conversation and sharing their experiences and knowledge with you.
Healthy Attitude
“Humility, it is an attribute of the gentle. Because it takes someone who is really gentle to be humble.” ? Nurudeen Ushawu
To be kind and gentle is to know how to give: giving time, skill, care, attention and help. We know that helping others is good for our health in combating depression, and stress relief. Also, when we cause joy in someone’s life, our brain releases endorphin, and we have the feeling of well-being, and the chances of getting sick also diminish.
Joseph B. Wirthlin, a religious leader, said that “gentle words not only elevate our spirits the moment they are uttered but also endure with us through the years.” And that’s true, we all know it’s true. How about today to do good for someone and so do good for oneself?
