Kindness is a type of behavior that shows generosity, thinking of another person, or concern for others, without wanting a reward. Kindness was one of the main topics in the Bible.[1] Nietzsche considered kindness and love to be the "most curative herbs" for humans.[2] Many believe that God is the same as kindness.[3] Kindness can help to grow a bond with someone.
