(144 words) Kindness is a manifestation of love and affection towards those who surround a person.
Lyudmila Ulitskaya writes about kindness in this text. She tells the story of Dink, Alik and their great-grandfather. Once a girl noticed that her brother had forgotten her grandfather’s watches, put them on and went into the yard to boast. When Dinka played volleyball, she did not catch the ball, and the blow fell right on the clock. The heroine was very upset, but the good great-grandfather, despite poor eyesight, repaired his gift. He loved his grandchildren very much and did not want to upset them.
The same example can be found in the work of Valentina Oseeva "Dink". Once the youngest of the Arsenyev’s sisters decided to help her aunt clean the pots ... in a rain barrel. She did not know how to do it correctly, and therefore the pots remained at the bottom. Grandfather Nikich saved Dinka, having managed to get the dishes out of the barrel and clean.
Thus, kindness begins with a good deed, which demonstrates an appropriate attitude towards people.
Example from the movie: The characters of the animated film "Up" directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson are a grumpy grandfather and a boy named Russell, an adventurer. Having learned that there is no one to support Russell at the ceremony for awarding trackers, grandfather, despite the difficulties of old age, comes to school and personally gives him the badge.
Life example: My friend accidentally ruined the cat pattern that had to be passed at school. Her grandmother saw that the girl was saddened, remembered her school years and painted an even more beautiful cat. That's right, because kindness is the basis of family relationships.
Media example: In the newspapers, you can often read stories about how grandparents actually replace their children with their parents. What is it, no matter how a manifestation of kindness? Older people overcome pain and fatigue, just to help the family raise a new generation.
