I am a very strong advocate for kindness. I always believe that it always “pays†to be kind (inside your heart.) A recent extract from the Readerâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s Digest really strikes me, and thus, this posting.
I feel that kindness begets kindness. In a lot of ways, a small gesture from one might go miles for the another at the receiving end.
Hope you enjoy reading the following:

Kindness not only makes life sweeter, it may make it longer, according to researchers at the University of Michigan.
Stephanie Brown, Ph.D., asked 423 older couples if they had helped a friend or neighbor just once in the previous year. Five years later, those who had were 50% more likely to outlive those who hadnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t.
“Research has shown that social contact is good for us, but we always assumed the benefit came from being on the receiving end,†says Brown. “It turns out that the benefits may actually be rooted in the contributions we make.â€
Weâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]re not talking about donating a kidney here – simply giving a friend a ride could offer the life-lengthening benefits.

A man opens a roadside stand selling bagels, and puts up a sign: 50 cents a piece. Every morning, a jogger runs past and puts two quarters on the stall, but he never takes a bagel.
One day as the jogger goes by, the bagel salesman falls in next to him. The runner laughs and says, “Let me guess. You want to know why I always put money on the counter and never take a bagel.â€
“No,†the vendor replies. “I want to tell you that the bagels are now a dollar.â€
