Remember when you were having a tough time last week, and a stranger held the door open for you? It was such a small gesture but it made a huge difference to the rest of your day. What happened was that you were on the receiving end of a random act of kindness.
It’s just as the name suggests. A random act of kindness is a nice deed done unexpectedly for a stranger with no expectation of repayment. It could be as simple as paying for the person behind you in line, or as monumental as transforming someone’s life. In a world where our headlines are increasingly dominated by politics or violent crime, these random kind acts remind us that there are still plenty of good people left in the world.
