We all have heard about random acts of kindness. Paying it forward, helping someone cross the road, giving a five instead of a one to a homeless person...
But tell me...what was the last nice thing that someone (a stranger) did for you? Something that stood out, giving you a warm feeling inside...and did you then do something nice for someone else-or hoard the kindness and let the RAOK (Random Acts of Kindness) die with you? I think that if we all do one RAOK a week-or even a month, everyone will be a lot happier. Even something as simple as a compliment to a stranger on thier hair or outfit. Care to give the challenge a try?

My own favorite is this: when driving on a toll road, I'll sometimes pull up to one of the booths with an attendant on duty, pay my own toll AND that of the driver behind me. I tell the attendant, "Tell 'em Doc says 'Hi'"

Most of the random acts of kindness that I perform or receive are on my commute to and from work on a busy interstate highway when I either let somebody in or somebody lets me in when a lane change is needed.
Many otherwise kind people lose all semblence of kindness when they get behind the wheel.

Random Acts of Kindness could be the thing that saves our society from the heartless, hate-filled, easily-offended, selfish place it often seems to be on the fast track to becoming. We should all practice them much more often. Think how much better a place our world would be if we each committed one random act of kindness each day. Think how much happier we all would be.
