Benignity
Benignity ( Latin benignitas , “ goodness ”, “ mildness ”) generally means “goodness”.
As a virtue
Benevolence is understood to mean the virtues " goodness " and "good-heartedness" as well as "kindness of heart".
Associated with this are attitudes and actions of mindfulness , benevolence , willingness to help and care , compassion , sharing and giving , kindness, etc. Goodness is often paired with wisdom and serenity . The prerequisite for this is inner and outer satisfaction . Goodness as virtue is an essential quality ; so not something that one strives for or that one "does". A “good person” always sees “the good” in others and in situations and “does good”. Benignity should not be confused with "cannot defend oneself".
In the medicine
In medicine , the term is used to denote the benign nature of a disease or the course of a disease (e.g. tumors or epileptic seizures ). A benign tumor always respects the basement membrane during its growth, i.e. it does not grow into vessels or foreign tissue. As a result, it scatters less quickly (see also: Dignity ) . The opposite of benignity is malignancy , which is malignancy.
