What religions encourages kindness?

Christianity is based around love and tells us that it consists of kindness. In 1 Corinthians 13; there is a chapter all about love. Most bibles render the Word love as charity. The Word love in this chapter is graceful love from God through the Christian.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8 KJV)
