I believe you are very right in alot of new or unfed Christian hearts. We get complacent and don't read The Bible and get refreshed on what EVERY follower of God had to go through! Paul had the thorn in his side, Stephen got killed, all were mocked! Look at poor Job, what a price to pay! When we really start to follow The Good Shepherd's voice just know that He's going to lead you into "The valley of the shadow of death" at some point in your life to test your faith in Him(with good right!). Good question and point to make, friend! I hope that helps you. God bless.

When i know and can see somebody is really true in the heart and really in a bad situation i try my best to help.  I may not have all the money to do so but i try to and even though i dont give a lot, i think its better than nothing.  I see people in poverty and imagine what it must be like being in their situation and my heart just breaks.  If i ever win lots of money, i will rather help those in need.  Thanks for having a kind heart!

From the way the question is worded, I would have to say that person A seems to be the better person since he has learned will power.  This isn't something easily done.  It at least shows that he's intelligent.  Person B sounds like Forrest Gump.\n\nIf you're asking which person has the higher moral value...well, you'll never know which of the two is better in that context until person B has an evil thought.  It is then, and only then, will you know if person B has the will power not to act on his evil thought.  However, if your hypothetical person B can never get an evil thought, then person B is the better one since he's all good.

There are various hotline/community help lines that are local and will not cost much, but if you are looking for something of value find someone who inspires you, will listen and cruelty wants to be there for you. The latter option should not cost very much money, just patience.

A good tact would be to talk about sacrifices you or others make to help others.  Also, think of things people don't necessarily want to do, but do anyway because they know it's the right thing.

Yeah i'd say blaze of glory. Dying fighting for something i believe in. That would be a great way to go. And you'd be honored for it as well. so even better. but it wouldn't matter. cuz you're dead. so the honor wouldn't matter. but yeah anyways. blaze of glory for sure.

I am not sure if you are looking for a story of kindness...if that is what you mean. \nBut if it is first of all let me say I am sure that sometime in your life someone has shown your kindness or you have witnessed an act of kindness. It is always better if you write from your heart not someone elses. \n\nHowever I will share this story with you just because I am quick to tell people how kindness has touched me.\n\nAbout four or five years ago I was going through a very hard time. It was December and I wasnt even sure how I was going to pay my bills much less buy Christmas presents for my daughter etc.\nWe live in a Northern state so it was cold. I did not have a car. Every morning I would bundle the baby up tight as can be in blankets etc stick her in the stroller and we would walk a mile to her daycare. Sometimes it was below zero but I always made sure she stayed warm.\nOne morning during our walk we had a lady pull over and get out of her car. She said to me that she sees us walking every morning and has been praying for us at her church. I said thank you. Then she said us at the church just want you to have this and she handed me an envelope. I dropped my daughter off and opened the envelope and there was over $100 in there. From strangers.\nThat same year God really must have been watching over me because the daycare donated a bunch of presents to us. \nAlso I got a letter on the stroller one day with two bags full of groceries. In the letter it said that they wanted to remain anonymous but to give a list of things we needed to this lady that we know and that they would make sure we got those things. I never did provide the list. I hope the person doesnt think I didnt appreciate it because I did...and still do. But I didnt want to depend on other people. Their kindness touched me so much that even now all these years later I am crying sharing the story.

That's an awesome question and I wish I had a certain answer for it, but the best I can think of is because nice people are the only ones who can endure the suffering they receive. But knowing the pain is there shouldn't stop any person from learning as it only leaves you richer for the next experience. We learn more from our failures than any amount of successes can teach us. So maybe all the bad stuff that comes your way is there to help you better be the person you're meant to be. I know because I have often been the one cheated on, that I'd never cheat on anyone else because I don't wish anybody else to feel the same way I did. So perhaps things that like help mold what it is you look for, the things you want to be like; the things you don't want to be like and before long when you're no longer concerned about finding somebody, that somebody will be there.

Wow. When I first read your question I thought - what kind of question is that? of course you need to contribute! But after reading the details, I'm wondering the same thing too. Did she do it? Is she the type that would? What was the cause of the fire? \nI think I would contrubute anyway. Not as much as I would give someone else, but still give something. And with time, if you see that she is struggling to get back to normal, help her some more. \nOr maybe just wait and see if she needs more financial help in the future, and give it to her then.

No , I think we can all learn something from nice people ,unless they are "fake nice" . Real nice people just have more charity in their hearts ,pray/meditate more ,take control of their health ,are cleaner ,and can be trusted. I have "nice" friends and "fake nice" friends.  Beleive me "nice" is better. I think when you say "too nice" those are the "fake nice" ones. Yes those fakes can be flustering. Stay away and find some genuine "real nice: people.

I think you can attain a lot through darkness, the same things you can get through light...\n\nThe question is- Are you willing to "pay the piper"?\nSatan's price is a whole lot higher than Jesus'

the most valuable possessions i have now is the cumulative knowledge that i've acquired about my self and others.  if knowing such damns me for eternity, then so be it!  there is oft'times a price for all knowledge.

I believe that I am a kind person.  A long time ago, my grandmother taught me that you should treat people the way you want to be treated...No matter what they do to you...kindness is a state of mind..not just single random acts.  IF you are always concerned with the feelings of others, you can't fail being kind.

When I was 21 yrs old I lost four ppl I loved deeply in a house fire.  I learned from that to never take anyone for granted and to truly enjoy life when it is good.

Be nicer to one another and consider the feelings of others?

A philosopher from the 1800's said, Soren Kierkegaard, said that the nicer you are, the more that some people will despise you.  Kind of like the bigger the good, the bigger evil is attracted to it and then repelled by it.  \n\nBeing good may not always benefit you, but it will always benefit at least one other, so that makes it all worth it.

Human kindness\n\nLook at the table of elements.  The ones near the end of the Periodical tables are ones that last for fractions of a second.\n\nThese are the rarest.  Alhough I would trade them all for human kindness.
