kindness and goodness
“Kindness is a sincere desire for the happiness of others;
goodness is the activity calculated to advance that happiness.
Kindness is the inner disposition,
created by the Holy Spirit,
that causes us to be sensitive to the needs of others,
whether physical, emotional, or spiritual.
Goodness is kindness in action – words and deeds.
Because of this close relationship,
we often use the two words interchangeably.”
