Is being kind good for you? - 6 Minute English

[@wagnarok4162]

Often, all we need is a simple act of kindness at the right time. Many people long for a more social life, and they feel that will get back a degree of normally. A rare but narrow window of opportunity it´s already opened. What, though, if it seems that something prevent us from performing good deeds? Regardless who the other are, we all must be unselfish and avoid greed. After all, God takes note and He keenly aware of our pain. Amazing topic, BBC. Must appreciated.

Hi mam

[@irenefang246]

Thanks, BBC for a helpful lesson as usual. My note while listening A random act of kindness such as helping strangers to cross the road. The main topic is kindness which scientists have become very interested in. According to Dr. Campbell, kindness seems counter-intuitive at first as it can cost something as we give away presents, and money to help others without having anything in return. Actually, we can experience a sense of reward or a warm glow when we're kind to others. Our brain remembers this kind of experience and motivates us to do something kindly again and again. In the ruthless world of politics and business, people often believe that empathy is unnecessary. However, compassionate leadership in fact leads to a fairer society, lower crime rates and a higher level of public health and well-being. It actually takes courage to act with compassion.

[@sabahmomini65]

My Understanding from this lesson : Scientists have conducted many researches to find out the best random act of kindness .Kindness can be a small but heartwarming act .It gives a warm glow for both sender and receiver .Although , in the Political world , kindness is disregarded. But , most of the people argue on this issue,by asking for compassionate politics. They claimed that a compassionate leader, leads to a better society, along with the feelings of empathy and responsibility for the people .

[@kimsejeongkpop2507]

Kindness is everyone's must-have norm & behavior.

[@Namake-chan]

Some people call this “kindfullness”. Giving kindness to others makes you happy as much as doing mindfulness I think❤️

Vocabulary from this video BBC 6-minute English "Is being kind good for you?": - A random act of kindness (n) - a small thing people do to be kind to others. Such as giving someone a smile; giving someone a hug or just your time to just listen. - Counter-intuitive (adj) - something doesn't happen in the way you expect it to. Exp: What can seem counter-intuitive because giving can cost something of ourselves, is that we could experience a sense of reward when we're kind to others. Intuitive (adj) - based on feelings rather than facts or proof. Exp: Most people have an intuitive sense of right and wrong. - A warm glow (n) - a pleasant inner feeling of happiness for doing something kind to others. Exp: The giver of kindness and receiver experiences what scientists call a warm glow - an inner feeling of happiness. - Ruthless (adj) - not thinking or worrying about any pain caused to others, cruel; without pity or sorry for the cruel thing you have done to others. Exp: Some people believe that to succeed in this world you have to be ruthless. a ruthless world. There's no place for kindness in the ruthless world of politics or business. - Compassion (n) - a strong feeling of sympathy for the suffering or bad luck of others and a wish to help them. Exp: I was hoping she might show a little compassion. Compassionate (adj) Exp: Compassionate leadership leads us to inclusive, cooperative outcomes which lead to fairer societies, lower crime rates, and higher levels of health and well-being. - Dismiss (v) - to decide something or someone is not important or not worth considering; to stop or remove, put something away. Exp: Kindness is something dismissed as women have been dismissed as something fluffy. It would be a nice idea but not really practical. - Fluffy (adj) - soft and wooly, considered not serious or important. Thanks for your video. It would be one of the greatest random acts of kindness when you release so many videos for us to learn English.

Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The people of a household are not granted kindness but that it will benefit them.” Khalid ibn Ma’dan reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah Almighty is kind. He loves kindness and is pleased by it. He offers support for it, that which is not offered for harshness.”

Politics involves fierce debate and criticism of anyone who disagrees with you but are those who belive it doesn t have to be like that a movement called compassion in politics "Compassionate leadership leads to inclusive cooperative outcomes which lead to fairer societies lower crime rates" Wow ! Super !! En la política por lo general se agreden unos con otros en las campañas políticas para desprestigiasen etc y lo que quiere el pueblo es propuestas reales y que sean cumplidas no peleas sin sentido esto lleva a la violencia. Por otra parte sonreír una palabra o un gesto amable, mostrar compasión o sentirla y ser amable es de valientes.

What about doing good things for them and just receiving arguments and negative words? So many times, Im geting kinda tired now. Just care about my closest circle and that's all. It's meaningless to try to hwlp people when they don't need it, such a waste of your precious time and energy
