Synonyms Of Kindness Novels & Stories

“They sense kindness.” Napatingin si Quen, hindi alam kung tatawa o tatalikod. Kindness. Iyon ang salitang matagal nang hindi ginagamit para ilarawan ang sinuman sa kanila. “Ah, Mr. Kamiyana,” bati ng lalaki, nakipagkamay kay Quen, “we were just talking about how your wife seems to have a natural gift with children.” Bahagyang napakurap si Mirae, ngunit hindi siya nakasagot agad.

"Kung wala ngang nakakakita ay naiisip mong tumulong sa iba. Ba't mas gusto mong magbigay ng masamang impresyon sa mga tao?" Natigilan ako sa tanong niya at yumuko. Parang naasar ako sa sinabi niya. "People often mistaken kindness as weakness. Kapag nalaman nila na mabait ka, aabusuhin ka nila." Tumingala ako sa kanya. "Siguro dahil bulag ka, kaya hindi ka aware na maraming manggagamit sa mundo. Uubusin ka nila hanggang walang matira sa 'yo."

Hindi siya agad tumingin kaya halos ramdam ko na ang lamig ng presensya niya kahit nakayuko pa ako. “Sit down,” she offered us a sear. Her voice was polite but cold. Dahan-dahan kaming umupo ni Nanay. Parehong tahimik at halos hindi humihinga. “Young people,” she began, her eyes finally landing on me. Hindi na malamig iyon. Hindi rin naman mainit. Pero matalim, tulad ng kutsilyong hindi kailangang idiin para makasugat. “They often mistake kindness for affection. And admiration… it can be dangerous when misunderstood.”

Ang friendly din talaga ata. “Madam Llona, if she stay there, she'll going to catch a …” “Let her. Nakikita ko na kung bakit siya ang pinili ng anak ko.” “And what it is Mother?” si Coy. Napangisi ako. Senenyasan ko si Mr. Lee na ihatid ang mga dalagitang tinuturuan ko. “ Her kindness is genuine.” “Mother?” “Coy, the kindness of your spirit, how you treat, think about and speak to other comes from a genuine kindness. You are kind, even to those whom you do not care for. You are aware that you can love someone even if you do not like them.”

"Kindness? When? Kailan mo ba ako tinrato with kindness, Mr. Mañuz? You never did." Anong kindness ba ang sinasabi niya? Ba't 'di ko makita? Kindness ba 'yong ilang beses ka niyang ginago? 'Yong ilang beses niyang ipagmukha sayong wala kang silbi? Isang talunan at duming babae? Kindness bang maitatawag mo do'n? "I'm kind enough to tolerate your presence for more than two years, Leylah."

“You’ve told me many times how you always give, how you try to understand people even when they hurt you. Do you know what that tells me?” I bit my lower lip. Pang-ilang beses ko nang punta kay Doc. Hindi ko na mabilang. “Na… mabait ako?” sagot ko na hindi sigurado. Doc smiled a little. “Yes, you are. And kindness is one of your greatest strengths. But Jessica, kindness is only good if it does not destroy you.” It struck me then.

"That you've always been kind." Huminto siya sa paglalakad. Nanatili siyang nakatingin sa akin. Parang hindi niya inaasahan ang sasabihin ko. "E..." Napakamot siya sa batok. "Normal lang naman 'yon." "No." I shook my head. "It isn't." Sa mundo ko, kindness was often calculated. People helped because they wanted something in return. People smiled because it benefited them. But here, no one had spoken about Windy's achievements. No one mentioned money. No one praised her because of status. They remembered the little things. The afternoons she spent tutoring neighborhood children. The meals she shared with elderly neighbors. The errands she ran without being asked.
