There is much pleasure to be found in the power of kindness. It is one of the most difficult things to give away because it is almost always returned to us. When we bring sunshine into the lives of others, we’re warmed by it ourselves. When we spill a little happiness, it splashes on us. It makes us feel good inside because showing kindness to others is what will bring enjoyment and happiness back to us.
Kindness does not need to cost money. It can be spontaneous and in fact, can be random. Our lives are fed by kind words and gracious behavior. We are nourished when we make the lives of others more enjoyable by something as simple as a smile and a wave, a helpful gesture, an offer of assistance, offering a “thank you” or an “excuse me,” or other such simple courtesies. If every day, we take some time to do even little things, then each new day can be the very best we’ll ever live.

I have Google set to send me email when it finds references to the Golden Rule, which is what led me to your article.
A lovely thought and I’ve added a link to it on the Golden Rule Radical.
