BENEVOLENCE IS DEFINED AS:

1. An inclination to perform kind, charitable acts.

2.  A kindly act

3. A gift given out of generosity.

​​

Benevolence characterizes the true goodness of the mind and spirit, the unbiased kindness to do good. It confers thought and regard for the welfare of other people, and finds expression in sympathy and kindly gentleness and compassion, with charitableness and kindness.

​

Those who lack benevolence have little, if any, thought or regard for others, and a tendency to help oneself, in neglect of others.
