True from many perspectives.
Kindness has a positive effect on our body: lower pulse and brain activity, higher level of serotonin, relaxation of muscles and arteries etc. Long time stress damages the body and narrows our mind. If a healthy mind needs a healthy body, then kindness is a cheap way to stay fit both physically and mentally.

If we believe kindness to be a virtue, than every time we experience kindness would prove our belief to be valid and supported. Which also positively affects our general feeling of justice and progress.

Kindness can also be considered as a act of consciousness, opposed to thoughtless behavior or indifference. Acting mean would also be a deliberate choice. B...

And yes, there is always battle between good and evil. Life would end without it, i think.

I wonder. Is it good when idiocy prevails to the point that environmentalism kills millions in Africa because of DDT lunacy? I suggest that when these ideas are proffered the same people who proffer a potential "population bomb" that they may be being something other than nice. What about the fact that abstinence education has been shown to decrease AIDS in Africa, and the proliferation of condoms has no effect? What about the war on poverty that has created more people in ideological chains than ever existed during the materialist program of slavery?

It is better to be good than happy. If being good means being indifferent, then that is bad. Being good means dividing because if the bad comingles with the good, then the good is infected. Better world: Divide the good from evil materialists.
