You never know what that small moment of kindness may trigger in the person you're being kind to. Maybe they will Pay it Forward, maybe they were having one of the worst days of their lives, and you made them think, even for a moment, "hey someone likes me." <br /><br />Great post!!

Cool quote.<br />This topic reminds of that commercial where someone does a random nice thing for someone, then you see the one who benefited doing something nice for someone else. It goes on for 5 or 6 characters, all experiencing kindness then repaying it by being kind to someone else. I think it's just a commercial about kindness.
