Kindness
Word — gematria and numerology meaning
| Cipher | Value |
|---|---|
| Ordinal (A=1, B=2…) | 95 |
| Reverse Ordinal (Z=1, Y=2…) | 121 |
| Reduction | 32 |
| Pythagorean | 32 |
| Chaldean | 28 |
Kindness carries an ordinal value of 95, reducing to Five, a number tied to change and freedom. Its reverse ordinal of 121 sits well above its forward ordinal of 95, a sign that most of its letters fall early in the alphabet. The Chaldean system gives 28, which reduces to One and so reads differently from the standard total.
"Kindness" comes from the Old English cynd, "nature" or "kin," so to be kind was originally to behave like family. The word's sense of warmth toward others grew out of the idea that one should treat everyone as one would treat one's own kin.
How Kindness adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Kindness is spelled K-I-N-D-N-E-S-S, which gives 11 + 9 + 14 + 4 + 14 + 5 + 19 + 19 = 95. Reducing the total to a single digit (9+5=14, then 1+4=5) gives 5.
