Every person has their own good nature, even those who seem utterly vicious; deep within their hearts, there must be a place of kindness.
Kindness does not need a reason; it may simply be an instinctive compassion, or the help offered on impulse. To extend help to those in need out of sympathy, and to reach out to those in distress, such sentiment is undoubtedly a very precious quality.
However, the giving of kindness must not be without restraint, or else it will lead the helped to assume that your kindness should be taken for granted.
True kindness should be about assisting those who genuinely need help, yet even then, it must be measured. Helping others is not about limitless giving; it should be about stopping in time, once they are out of trouble, to avoid making them feel as if your help is cheap and expected.
