(463 words) None of us like that injustice reigns in the world, but only really good people can fix it, because evil bribes a person with profit, and only virtue can help get rid of this temptation. This means that the importance of kindness is determined by its need to combat the vices of human nature that make our life worse. I will prove this statement with concrete examples.
An example of true kindness is the character of the story of A. I. Solzhenitsyn “Matrenin Dvor” - Matrena. A woman is always ready to help the people who surround her, while she herself does not need so much. She has enough of what she grows herself in her garden. She even lets in a pupil Kira into her house, absolutely disinterestedly. But due to an accident, an old woman dies under the wheels of a train. And the author says that now the village has lost something important, and without the righteous Matryna it became more difficult to live. After all, her complacency made the people around her better, and the difficult life in the village easier. Her virtue gave others a vivid example to follow, and gratuitous help instilled hope in the villagers that even the most difficult thing would become easier. Therefore, the author speaks of her heroine and her role in the village: “A village does not stand without a righteous one.” This phrase proves the need for kindness in interpersonal relationships, especially in difficult times, when people have to unite and draw strength in unity.
In the novel “Oblomov” by I. A. Goncharov, the protagonist is not particularly enthusiastic about working or achieving any goals, but he is full of kindness and trust in people. So, his childhood friend Stolz in the company of Oblomov always feels comfortable, and next to him he is always calm and easy. He communicates with him for many years and at the same time does not lose sympathy for him. Ilya Ilyich can hardly be called handsome, and he does not differ in intellectual abilities, but his pure soul, full of kindness, conquers the heart of the beautiful Olga. He does not have anger towards others, he is disinterested and naive, therefore, he perceives all the hardships that meet on his life path absolutely calmly. Protecting this bright and positive person, Agafya Pshenitsyna gave him so much tenderness and guardianship, his servant Zakhar so sincerely loved him. People appreciated him for a big and kind heart full of love. Why? For all the heroes, Ilya Ilyich was a burden that had to be borne by himself. But, apparently, people need kindness even more than they need material wealth and peace, and therefore they are ready to take care and patronize the one who gives them this feeling. So, if this is so necessary for us on an emotional level, we must provide each other with kindness in order to make life better and our relationship warmer.
People should be kind to each other, because the difficult circumstances of our life require it. In order to survive and overcome difficulties, it is necessary to build interpersonal relationships on such foundations as mutual assistance, understanding, and responsiveness. In addition, goodness and disinterestedness attract people much more than senseless external tinsel, and to become necessary, useful for society, the country and your family, you need to learn kindness.
