Kindness is contagious: Spread it

There is a simple, yet powerful act, that a person can do today and that is kindness. It costs nothing but can change everything for at least two people — for the person who gives it and the one who receives it.

A single kind gesture can turn a stranger's bad day around, mend tension between neighbors, and ripple through communities. Done by more people more often, it can create a culture of respect and empathy. In these times of noise, stress, and quick tempers, kindness is a quiet revolution—and everyone can take part.

Children should grow up witnessing their parents being kind—not just to relatives, but to people they don't know. Acts of kindness, when modeled consistently, teach the next generation empathy and social responsibility.
