There are many important reasons why kind words are a significant aspect of our lives. There are three specific reasons kind words are significant, these include: kind words bring individuals to Christ, can influence others for the better, and can lift someone up out of the darkness and hate that unkind words contribute. Unlike kind words, unkind words hurt others, keep them away from Christ, and overall influences them do evil and be wicked. Unkind words have gotten me into many unfortunate and aberrant situations. Many of which include the people who I love and cherish, which seems a little bit out of the ordinary considering they are very important to me and my life. As Christians we are called to this earth to bring the sinners, wicked, unwanted, and unreached people to Christ. In 1 Corinthians 13:1 it says – If I could speak all the languages of the earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. We are to allow God to take them away …show more content…
Proverbs 15:1 says, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.” I have had days where I was angry for different reasons and answered to people with anger. This resulted in the other person getting angry towards me as well. When talking to someone, even when you are in a bad mood or having a bad day, you should always respond with kind words. Especially, because they had nothing to do with your anger, so why treat them with rudeness when they weren’t involved? God tells us to be kind to our enemies, friends, neighbors, family, etc. even when they are unkind or use unkind words towards you. Be the mature person in the situation, and no matter what another person says to you, be kind back. For you reap what you sow. I have made many mistakes with unkind words, but the best you can do to fix what you said is apologize with kind words, and you will be
Mark Twain, author of Huckleberry Finn, clearly states, “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured” (“Mark Twain Quotes”). By Twain’s words, anger and arguments are acids that have the ability to harm others. Personally, I have seen arguments filled with frustration and anger toward others. However, that acidic anger in them never reached its target or gained any ground. With my experience, I believe that anger and arguing achieves nothing.
1. Jesus told his apostles to love their enemies and treat others well even if they don’t do the same; he told them to do what they would want done to them. If they expect nothing in return, they will be rewarded and be seen good in the eyes of God. Jesus was teaching compassion and selflessness. This parable is the origin of the saying “Treat others how you want to be treated.”
The concept of being nice to people, even if someone does not particularly like them or isn’t fond of them, has been drilled into my head for the longest time. Teachers today even bring up that I should be nice to those I don’t like as if it is a childish concept. I have learned that being nice to other people is what I should do because it is what is
The Era of Not So Good Feelings Many historians label the period after the War of 1812 as the “Era of Good Feelings” but it certainly did not seem that way towards many others. This so called “Era of Good Feelings” dealt with the extension of slavery and the differing views on that subject between the North and the South, the American System that helped the United States industrialize and expand but led the country from nationalism to new sectionalism views; thus causing tensions to rise. Slavery had been protracted since the 1600s and with the extension of slavery and many differing views from both the Northerners and Southerners, it became a huge issue. Northerners opposed the extension of slavery because of the 3/5 Compromise which provided unfair representation to slave states compared to the northern states.
So constantly being kind and showing those kind emotions can show your character and build a reputation that you can uphold. In his quote, Elie Wiesel stated “Even on the edge of the abyss, it is possible to dream exalted dreams of compassion.” I believe he talked about
When someone is angry they’re not really themselves and any of their actions or words may be done in a fit of rage. This unpredictable aspect of anger could hurt someone else unintentionally resulting in
My entire life has changed due to my kindness. Therefore, should I no longer be kind? Why offer my assistance to others if the outcome is penalization? These questions torment my mind; do I acknowledge what's happening around me, or should I just drive by? All I wanted to do was help people, and now, all I do is suffer.
Humans are constantly being tested with difficult pursuits which they may surrender to or use their willpower to overcome. We often choose the latter. When one is unkind or disrespectful to you, it is human instinct to allow that disrespect make you feel insecure and ultimately cause deep anger. People tend to be victims to their own misfortune more often than they are survivors of the difficulty they face. But it is important to consider the strength that can be gained from conquering adversity with confidence.
Throughout the history, there have been heated discussions on what constitutes a good life. Philosophers have given different annotations on the meaning of good life based on their beliefs, perspectives or even scientific-based evidences. Some view a good life as an accumulation of material goods that brings “large amount” of pleasure to oneself. On the other hand, Mencius and Aristotle advocate good life as possessing of pleasure that incorporates ethical values and they believe that by doing so one will experience enduring happiness. There is no ultimate right or wrong for these interpretations since this is not a factual question.
The sinful heart will turn away from the living God and the heart will be hardened. So, we need to encourage one another daily to turn back to God. Therefore, others are necessary for personal growth in the gospel. That is also how Hebrew 3:12-13 tells
To be a good human being and to succeed in life, we should keep calm when other people around us are losing their cool. We should not lose our temper even if others are blaming us for their fault. It is human nature to save oneself from the blame and pin it on another. But, you should not lose your temper because of this, if fact, losing your temper does not solve a problem, instead it usually intensifies it. Keeping your head cool allows you to think wisely, face the situation, and ultimately, think of a
As a kid, my parents always taught me to stand up for myself and others. Basically they told me I always need to kindly put someone in their place. Whether I was part of the problem or not. As quoted, “If you see or hear something you don’t think is kind, saying nothing is just as bad as partaking. Don’t be afraid to stand up for someone in the same way you hope someone would stand up for you.
It is just unfortunate that in one way or another every one of us falls in this category which is not a good category to be in we find ourselves in a category of being upset or upsetting others knowingly or unknowingly. Depending on the gravity of the issue please ignore whoever is busy making you hurt or be brave to have a chart with them if they ever listen or simply act mature if you are not able to ignore them. Whatever choice you make do not allow the enemy to push you in a situation where you get upset, too upset that you are not even able to pray, this too is called sin and we have to hate sin but sticking and learning to be self controlled people of God will help us a lot throughout our lives. But thank God Jesus Christ died on cross
In many cases the wisest words ever stated on various subject were stated years and years ago. This last Bible passage, if carefully read demonstrates the way in which we, as human beings, should act towards one another when differences of our persons arise. “Do not conform to the standards of the world around you, but change your attitudes through a complete renewal of mind, that you may discern the will of God and know what is good, desirable, and right. Just as there are numerous parts in the human body, all with different functions, so too we - though many - form one body in Christ and belong individually as members to each other and yet have different personal attributes according to the favor God has bestowed on us. Love each other with the affection of sisters and brothers, and have a profound respect for one another.
