  1. Kindness is a moral category, and it is almost impossible to approach it rationally. In other words, if a person doesn't want to be kind, it's almost impossible to convince them to be so.

    There is a theory of reasonable egoism (described, for example, by Chernyshevsky in the novel “What to Do?”). According to this theory, being kind is beneficial because your kindness will return to you. But this will only work if enough people agree to be kind. Our life experience shows that kindness to other people is not always rewarded (“Do not do good, you will not get evil”). Many people find it difficult to sacrifice their interests for the sake of an abstract public good. So this theory doesn't work well in real life.

    In my opinion, the best “argument” in favor of good is humanity. Anyone who does not act kindly does not have the right to be called a human being. People tend not only to make mistakes, but also to do good. If someone behaves selfishly, thinks only of himself and is not going to change it, then he is not quite a person, he is a creature that anatomically, physiologically and even intellectually does not differ from homo sapiens, but morally still not grown up to a person.

  2. To give yourself a perfectly reasonable answer to this question, imagine the world around you as evil. Here you go and see how people are touched for nothing, someone is deceived, someone is deprived of life, someone has become ill and no one answers the call for help. There are many different situations. Now, put your hand on your heart and tell yourself honestly, would you like to live in such a world? With the understanding that tomorrow, not only with others, but also with you, the same thing can happen. Remember, turning a blind eye to all this, you will not avoid the moments when evil touches you.

  3. Everyone has their own ideas about good and evil. It's a bit difficult to reach a certain point of view here.

    A person must first of all be adequate, aimed at improving not only society and personal life.In other words, an adequate and law-abiding citizen.

    Most laws (not all of them, of course) are aimed at regulating the relations of citizens within the country in various spheres. Due to the fact that if citizens follow the letter of the law, it has a positive impact on the development of the state, society, and families. These are the foundations for building and improving your life.

    However, everything does not go smoothly and each person has different difficulties. The adequacy of a person is rational, taking into account various factors, to find the optimal solution. And adequacy can also include an independent, unbiased assessment of something. This is, for example, to hire a specialist, and not the son of the chief accountant, director, etc., who can do nothing but bend their fingers.

    Even kindness can be attributed to humanity. That is, selfless help even to a stranger in a difficult situation. For example, if a car got stuck in a snowdrift , I helped you pull it out. As a rule, in such situations, the victim is happy and it is quite possible that in the future he will help another person in a difficult situation. Etc. In general, if there is no indifference, then the situation in the country as a whole will become kinder. Still, it's nice when you realize that if something happens, they can help you. Good people do not abuse this, they do not constantly ask for help for the slightest trifles.

    So we can say that an adequate law-abiding person is a “kind person”, and if he is also humane, then “ideal”.

    But this is my point of view and, of course, not everyone agrees with it.
