Kindness Breeds More Kindness, Study Shows

A study done recently showed that generosity is contagious.
Apparently, when one person performs a single act of kindness, it influences dozens more.

Though the study seems rather dry, and I think most scientific studies are, it still shows that when a person is observed by others being generous and giving, it causes others to do the same.

Interesting………so all we need to do is see someone acting kindly, generously and selfless and it causes us to want to do the same.

Maybe we need to see more acts of kindness on the news and in the news papers than news of people behaving badly. If we do that we may change how the world acts one person at a time.
