Introduction
Kindness is a simple but powerful act. It means being friendly, generous, and caring toward others, even in small ways. In our daily lives, we often receive kindness from friends, family, or even strangers – a warm greeting, a helping hand, or a word of encouragement. But kindness is not only about making others feel good; it also brings warmth to our own hearts. Some people think kindness is a weakness, but in fact, it takes courage to be kind when the world feels cold. This week, let’s share our thoughts and experiences about kindness. What does it truly mean to be kind? Can kindness change the way we see each other? Let’s explore together.

1.      In your opinion, what is the difference between being kind and being “too nice”?

Being nice can be deceptive, while being kind is out of heart.

2.      Can you share a small act of kindness you have done or received recently?

Last day a teacher I wasn't familiar with helped me print out my homework. Is it an act of kindness?

3.      Do you think kindness can ever be a bad thing? Why or why not?

Definitely. As an intervention to others' life, giving kindness can lead to a negative result you don't expect despite your good intention. Furthermore, being too warm can cause doubt and distrust.

 

4.      Is it easier to be kind to strangers or to people close to you? Explain.

To people close to me because it's akward and probably doubtful to help others.

Welp, I find myself perhaps being kind to strangers more than to people around. It ocurrs to me that kindness isn't same as help. Helping familiar people is more or less out of responsibility, while helping others is usually driven by kindness.  

7.      What is one situation where being kind is very difficult, but still important?

When it costs you much, but helps others much more. Or in a situation where you are held back by mere embarrassment when you are going to do a good deed that is possibly considered weird or even stupid by bystanders, but practically costs you little. Then you shouldn't cringe for being kind.

8.      If kindness became a daily habit for everyone, how do you think the world would change?

If so, to put it negatively, everyone would take it for granted.
