I was always brought up to be kind. A saying I often heard was "Its nice to be kind and it doesnt cost you a penny." I held this my entire life but the older I get, the more I have learned that Kindness costs a great deal. The investment of kindness is the forfeiture of thinking only about yourself. Its is the act of social mindfulness where you actively pursue opportunities to provide acts of kindness to others. the investment is steep and the cost high but without risk there is no reward and this is the most rewarding way to live.
