    being kind nowadays is often mistaken for flirtation or considered weird

    It may be considered flirting, but will never be considered weird. People like kindness directed towards them. for example, who doesnt like a shop assistant who is super friendly? it makes you smile, it betters your mood when you pass through people like that. And you can do it to. its simple, and it will make you feel good. In the flirting part, girls can tell after a few talks with you what are your real intentions, or even in first contact. A honest smile and positive atittude is very different from a flirty one.

    A decade ago after just getting my income tax, I had over a grand in cash in my wallet. I left it like a dummy in a mall bathroom stall. An elderly couple had found it and left their # w/ mall security (they were uncomfortable leaving it with a stranger). I called them and they drove 20+ mins in a snow storm to meet me halfway. Every penny was accounted for& they refused my reward money. They’d even found a phone list in my wallet and called a few of my contacts to tell them they had my wallet. Over ten years later and I’ve never forgotten that. Kindness truly goes a long way. This couple restored my faith in humanity ❤️

    This is a really good video about just being kind. One thing people forget is that they can be nice without needing to get something in return. Or that it doesn't have to be something big like helping out at a soup kitchen (though you should still do that if you can). Being kind can simply be helping an old person at the store lift their heavier items onto the register or telling someone they look nice. That's all it takes and if everyone did a few kinds acts a day then the world would be a lot less jaded.

And it makes me think about going out of my own shell, because i feel there's a veil on my heart that prevents me from expressing love and kindness properly. And all I wanna do is to feel connected to people again. Thank you, SoulPancake, for showing me that it's posssible. =)

    This woman had her child in her arms and the little girl dropped her pink little unicorn that was one of those eyeball pop things where u squeeze it and the eyeballs pop out of the character . anyways they were leaving papa J's (pizza place) and the little girl dropped her doll as they were herding to their truck. Then the women opened the door to the vehicle and put the little girl inside. (The girl was about 2 and didn't know how to speak just quite yet) So I walk to the toy pick it up and say "ma'am, is this your children's toy?" I said to her and she said back in a nice voice"Yes, Thank you". The whole time my family didn't know what I was doing when I stopped and turned around. Basically, do a nice jester when possible.

    Once I worked as a cashier in a gift store, a man comes to pay for 3 Easter baskets, he started telling me, he had been in jail for 20years, and he was super excited to be FREE! And wanted to show the world, Kindness!! he was so happy, I watched carefully, hoping wth all my heart that ppl wuld NOT Abe mean to him. Each one of the persons he tried to give the basket to, they completely rejected him and got so mad, they thought he was crazy, and all he said was... Hello good person, I am so happy to be alive and I just want to give you this Easter basket so you can have a great day... they cursed and were very mean to him. I had to step out and tell those ppl off!!! But sadly, when a random stranger wants to do something great, ppl get so scared, ppl are so not used to kindness.. But I Hope Gratitude WINS!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
