I believe that people in today’s society need to show more acts of kindness. We need to start caring more about the welfare of others. When a person shows kindness and caring towards others, they will feel good about themselves. Doing something for someone else could change that person’s whole day and attitude. Without knowing what that person has been going through, they are showing compassion and could lift that person’s spirit.

Acts of kindness don’t need to be recognized. A person should do it out of integrity from their own hearts. The person on the receiving end is the only person who matters. This can be done anonymously too. Making someone feel good and appreciated is all of the fulfillment that is needed.

Its bothers me that some people want and need recognition. To me, then their actions were not completely sincere. That would make the act of kindness more for yourself then for the person you wanted to help. The “pay it forward” idea is a good example. Pay for something for someone else who isn’t expecting it. Make someone else’s day a good one. Give someone a reason to smile.
