Kindness is a quality of love. Kindness is being friendly, generous and considerate to others. Considering others over self in actions and words.
It almost comes naturally to be kind to those who are kind to you. But it makes the biggest impact when you are kind to those who treat you otherwise. Your enemies, rude people, arrogant people, hostile people, and the like.
Romans 12:21 "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" Doing good to one who is treating you badly is something very powerful. It throws the other person off balance and their motivation to continue doing evil starts weakening.
If kind words are used in an argument, very little or no hurt can be caused. In some situations, words are not applicable but since actions are louder than words, they powerfully deliver the same message, "I may be hurt by what you have done to me, but I will not do the same to you. I will treat you with love"
Kindness is a very powerful tool in restoring peace in any relationship that is having a hard time. It is an oil that smooth-ens out any friction and keeps a relationship growing peacefully.
