The true meaning of kindness

"A philanthropist is a but a selfish person with foresight"
" If you want recognition from men, you will not be recognized by God".
What is the definition of kindness?
8 He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God Micah 6
1) Do not retreat in front of difficulty; do not be the first to go after benefits.
2) Lover of peace. Do not raise conflict whenever one goes. If what he should insist, he does not insist; what he should let go, he does not let go, he will make himself a despicable man.
3) Do not treat others according to their standard. Others must be responsible for whatever they do, while we are responsible for our character. No matter how others treated us, we still have the freedom to choose how we react to others. We should not lower the standard of our character and use the standard of others to respond to them.
4) Must continue to do good things without grumbling although there is no results.
5) When we mentioned that others are not kind to us, do we check that whether we are kind to others in the first place.
