It
has been proven by scientists that being kind is a mood enhancer for humans around
the world by connecting the satisfaction of kindness to the chemical processes
of the brain. Kindness has played a
factor in our society and in the entire world throughout the history of the
human race. Whenever someone is feeling
down, all they have to do is forget about themselves and put aside their woes
for a minute and think of someone else for a second, be nice, and it is likely
they will feel better.
When people help each other to complete a goal or finish
a project that they themselves cannot complete on their own, this is known as
an act of kindness.
Acts of kindness are done because people want
to be cordial and beneficial to others. Being actively kind will not only
benefit you, but will also benefit the one you are being helped.
The types of people
that can be reached out to and helped can range anywhere from a variety of friendly
and unintelligent people, to snobbish and hyper-intelligent persons. These acts of kindness
can actually cause feel-good chemicals such as Oxytocin to run through your
brain and give you a boost of morale or energy.
But for
what reason would someone so smart need help? Well everyone is human, and
everyone makes mistakes. That is why
kindness is so important.
