Our Kindness IQ remains intact when we join this world. We can help to preserve it that way by our actions. Kindness is like a muscle; the more you use it, the stronger it becomes, and the less you use it, the weaker it becomes.
That isn’t to suggest that some situations and people will try your patience. Being a good person might be difficult at times! When you’re not feeling as nice and generous as you could be, meditation is a terrific way to calm down your day and take stock. It is not necessary to have a motive to be friendly to others.
