being kind nowadays is often mistaken for flirtation or considered weird
It may be considered flirting, but will never be considered weird. People like kindness directed towards them. for example, who doesnt like a shop assistant who is super friendly? it makes you smile, it betters your mood when you pass through people like that. And you can do it to. its simple, and it will make you feel good. In the flirting part, girls can tell after a few talks with you what are your real intentions, or even in first contact. A honest smile and positive atittude is very different from a flirty one.
Uem Z fkdjdjkddjdjdkk something that made me so aggravated was that some guy kept smiling at my friend and so she thinks it's him being creepy, stalkerish, and weird when it was just him trying to be nice
Sorry had to get that out how people just don't accept the fact that people can just be nice ok peace and blessings everyone
Yup sad isn't it
... and 5 years on some people still think like that.
5 years ago? it might still be like that till this day but i don't really talk to people or even go out for a matter pf fact so idk.
When I was on crutches, a homeless guy helped me across the street. I decided to buy lunch at the store deli for him, but when I went outside, he was gone!
@Nellwyn Macdonald what’d they say? They deleted it
A decade ago after just getting my income tax, I had over a grand in cash in my wallet. I left it like a dummy in a mall bathroom stall. An elderly couple had found it and left their # w/ mall security (they were uncomfortable leaving it with a stranger). I called them and they drove 20+ mins in a snow storm to meet me halfway. Every penny was accounted for& they refused my reward money. They’d even found a phone list in my wallet and called a few of my contacts to tell them they had my wallet.
Over ten years later and I’ve never forgotten that. Kindness truly goes a long way. This couple restored my faith in humanity ❤️
Veronica Christopher WOW! Great story!
I think the only quality that I'll be ever attracted to is kindness...
̶ ̶C̶r̶o̶s̶s̶m̶y̶h̶e̶a̶r̶t̶ ̶
Amen
I challenged myself not to cry, of course I lost. Soul pancake you warm my heart!
That means you have a big, warm heart.
Turns out the “cute couple" are siblings
Your welcome for making your day
I used to help people all the time and I was really happy at that time, now I really don't help that much and not really happy, I will change this as giving did make me more happier
Kindness Grattitude and all that stuff, I rarely see it anymore...
Everyone's looking down on their phone....
I just wish that we could at least look up and communicate more with people and be kinder and be happier in general at the same time spreading it..
Can you guys understand how nice would it be if every human being acted like this everyday? 😢
We have it in us to love but it starts with you wanting it to spread the word. You are a shining light of hope. We learn your love you have.
This is a really good video about just being kind. One thing people forget is that they can be nice without needing to get something in return. Or that it doesn't have to be something big like helping out at a soup kitchen (though you should still do that if you can). Being kind can simply be helping an old person at the store lift their heavier items onto the register or telling someone they look nice. That's all it takes and if everyone did a few kinds acts a day then the world would be a lot less jaded.
I cry tears of joy every video I watch from you guys. Thank you for sharing these inspirational videos +SoulPancake!!
I should really do this more... call someone and tell them im proud of them and why they're so great and give food to the homeless!
We all should.
I've always wanted to buy a homeless person lunch. Never had the balls to though which is silly because they would most likely appreciate it. I guess no matter who it is, theres always that fear of being rejected.
+Bea Livingstone I gave a homeless person a bag of pumpkin and spice cupcakes in the end - fear conquered!
I hate how many times I've given homeless people food or cigarettes and they don't say thank you and end up asking for 20 dollars.
Hi
Watching The Science of Happiness makes my day so much better. It's an inspiration to go out there and do something great. That feeling you get most of the time, seeing all the bad things in the world, when you are ashamed of humanity... That goes away when you watch this. Thank You SoulPancake!
Okay I'd be awkward as hell when it comes to doing these things.
I cried in 6th rows of your videos guys...
Man, iI'm so glad I stumbled, accidently, to these episodes. You guys ARE making a difference. Time to feel great by expressing gratitude....Thanks Soul Pancake!! wait for it....wait for it....yep! it works!!
When we seek to serve someone in need not expecting them to ever be able to repay us has a way of connecting people. Connecting with someone even in a small way is amazing.
Stop making me cry!
i do kindness all the time i go up to someone i do not no and say something nice about them it makes me think better about my self
Once this guy came up to my wife and I when we were leaving a take a way place and he said "Are those your kids"...
ME (in my mind): 'Oh no, what did thy do this time' "Ahhh yep"
HIM: "I just wanted to say that your kids were really nice to my kids and really well behaved"
ME: "You mean those ones" pointing at mine,
HIM: "yep"
ME: "Ahh thanks"
Almost the proudest Dad moment of my life, you know apart from them being born.
I think the guys who got 40 for the tip thought they made a mistake, that's why they were so eager to wrap up the interaction (and why that guy whispered it)
Raz 1138 I don't think so. He whispered it because he couldn't believe his good fortune.
I tried to bring a warm dinner to a homeless man on a cold night. He yelled at me and told me to go to hell. T_T
It's the thought that counts. :P
PuNkFuMeSt1027 How did that feel? :)
+PuNkFuMeSt1027 Maybe he was just waiting for the bus..
i'm sorry but I laughed at this comment. It's healthy tho. But wat I want to tell you is that you did good, and don't let such a thing prevent u from doing tings like this. Take care :)
Yeah. It can happen. But that doesn't in any day diminish the value of your action.
Killing them with compassion overloading them in kindness making the world go round
I am so in love with SoulPancake. Thank you for sharing happiness and inspiring kindness.
I will forever support the mission of Soul Pancake. It doesn't matter what mood I'm in, I'm always 10 times happier and more inspired every time I watch your videos. The Science of Happiness is one of my particular favorites. After watching this, I felt the absolute need to continue on the chain of kindness. Thank you for inspiring me to live for something greater than myself.
I teared up when they made the phone calls. SoulPancake, you motivate me everyday to be a better person.
THE MEASURE OF SUCCESS IS ALL YOUR HAPPYNESS

Such a great thing...giving and being kind to others. It really does make the giver happy.
My grandma is one of this people who will go up to strangers and compliment them. I love her.
when I watch these videos my face is just glowing with joy and smiles! it makes me happy knowing all people aren't heartless!
Once I worked as a cashier in a gift store, a man comes to pay for 3 Easter baskets, he started telling me, he had been in jail for 20years, and he was super excited to be FREE! And wanted to show the world, Kindness!! he was so happy, I watched carefully, hoping wth all my heart that ppl wuld NOT Abe mean to him. Each one of the persons he tried to give the basket to, they completely rejected him and got so mad, they thought he was crazy, and all he said was... Hello good person, I am so happy to be alive and I just want to give you this Easter basket so you can have a great day... they cursed and were very mean to him. I had to step out and tell those ppl off!!! But sadly, when a random stranger wants to do something great, ppl get so scared, ppl are so not used to kindness.. But I Hope Gratitude WINS!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so much in love with such kind of videos. I look at people who are not afraid to express their kindness and it makes me belive in humanity. And it makes me think about going out of my own shell, because i feel there's a veil on my heart that prevents me from expressing love and kindness properly. And all I wanna do is to feel connected to people again. Thank you, SoulPancake, for showing me that it's posssible. =)
I want to be friends with this guy, he seems funny, smart, nice. I don't have friends like that.
I'm gunna do the homeless one, I think that would be really fun and if I'm lucky maybe I can get a conversation with them
Johnny Ordonez 👌👏👏
Jon Kneee was never seen again...
You are my hero. Just because you made the simplest best username I've ever seen and use this awesome power to be kind to people.
Im crying😢💔. I wish I had someone like this in my life.
I just love this series so much. Amazing.
Good to know that some people really take an initiative to make the world a better place.
Great username and great comments! You guys rock. Thanks for the support! : )
I really love watching these videos you post of people just connecting with each other. You guys are doing a great job in the community and it all brightens up my day and motivates me to also go out there and just show some genuine love. please keep up the good works! :-)
You guys produce some of the best content on the internet. I always walk away feeling encouraged and inspired. Keep up the good work!!!!
This woman had her child in her arms and the little girl dropped her pink little unicorn that was one of those eyeball pop things where u squeeze it and the eyeballs pop out of the character . anyways they were leaving papa J's (pizza place) and the little girl dropped her doll as they were herding to their truck. Then the women opened the door to the vehicle and put the little girl inside. (The girl was about 2 and didn't know how to speak just quite yet) So I walk to the toy pick it up and say "ma'am, is this your children's toy?" I said to her and she said back in a nice voice"Yes, Thank you". The whole time my family didn't know what I was doing when I stopped and turned around. Basically, do a nice jester when possible.
freaken love this channel
Videos from you guys make my day whenever I see a new video in my subscription box, so thank you for making me smile and bringing such awesome content onto youtube!
Just the profound dignity in valuing another human being....
Good info here on being a happier person.Although I disagree when Julian stated that the kindness has to be more than small kindness acts.I've found that when I'm giving a good tip for average service or really listening and sympathizing to an associate who is griping about his current life.That helps me be a happier person.I must admit i don't like to listen to people who whine about their life. To be good at doing acts of kindness on a fairly regular basis one must be a very good and giving person.There just aren't that many people like that.Our egos say well why she I be so kind when alot of people aren't kind and giving to me.
I love this kind of videos, it encourages me to be a better and more happier person :). thank you SoulPancake!
I swear every time I watch one of these I have the feeling to run out of my house and just help everyone!
it so rare to compliment people nowadays especially strangers and because it is so rare some sounded a little sarcastic when they were complimenting, obviously they werent but sarcasm it a lot more common than politeness
I think sometime happiness just come from do something so simple to anybody, especially priorities your family member first ^_^
I just want to hug Julian forever. :( I love these videos.
really moved...i did that a lot when i was in my college...
loved it!! :)
I'm surpised how different it is to here.
SoulPancake never ceases to amaze me.
This made me smile and cry.
Soul Pankake never fails to make me cry, love this channel
I really love this channel. Thanks for the motivation to live happier, and kinder.
Thank you, Lexi!
Thank you SoulPancake, I'm happy!
I just called two friends of mine, before I could say anything I started crying, I don't even know why! I guess I was just overwhelmed. But it felt really good.:)
I don't know why I'm crying... That was so great :,)
Last year, I did constant things like always holding the door for a good 5 minutes for the influx of people on my way from the bus and also for those getting out of gym, but I wasn't really happy. To me, it became kind of like a science experiment. I'd try to judge the character of people based on their reactions to me holding the door. I reasoned that since I was doing this every day, it would mean that I would learn more about their personality- did they not say anything the first day because of shyness and work their way up to saying thank you? Did the say thank you out of politeness the first time then stop showing gratitude as time went on? I don't know if it actually worked or had any scientific benefit, but it was interesting and a kind of ritual. Back then I was very obsessed with high moral standards and a big sense of self. I was also craving validation because I was lonely. But this didn't cure my loneliness, or draw more people towards me. I don't know where I'm going with this. I guess I'll close by saying that I don't regret holding the door or always picking up trash, but doing them daily didn't necessarily make me happy.
This channel has touched my soul.
It was wonderful, love you guys.
This made me cry
how come you always, always,aways makeme cry?!
and i don't even know why!
This videos encourage me to do more kind things
all good things come to an end
I love this little series of videos. They make me so happy and almost bring tears to my eyes every time. I really like seeing the results at the end too, but it makes me wonder if there are ever any decreases in happiness? Doubtful, but I'm curious to know.
It is amazing that you tried though. A lot of people wouldn't go out of their way to do something kind for another person. I wish you luck in becoming less anxious
my conscience won't let me be unkind when people need help
And the amount of awesome people out there in the world amazes me!
You're beautiful and awesome :)
SoulPancake is amazing!
Oh my gosh at the part when they were calling there family I started tearing up and I'm not a very sensitive person!
Make me cry every time! Good cry! so thank you!
There are only 3 words for this awesome, awesome, awesome
I'll keep being kind :) Happy people are always nice :)
You know in this world and in today's society...its almost laughable to alot of people or suspicious if you are kind...its so F'd up honestly. I think the notion that kindness is important and that it comes back to you is only something understood by the wise. Its wisdom. It's to where you realize you are capable of:
1)- Making yourself feel better by making someone else feel better or helping another soul.
2)- Making your life and time spent more purposeful and rewarding.
3)- Changing your own universal karma...and karma most definitely exists even though both karma and oxygen are invisible it's always around you.
I also find that kindness is not an act or a moment or a gesture but rather it's at it's best when it's a life practice. I am not saying you should be a sucker and take abuse from anyone......no way. But if you practice kindness it will come back to you in another form. You may buy the homeless lady a meal one day or give a care bag to a homeless guy or go out of your way to help someone.....karma takes note of what you did! And it may not be immediate in its response to you it may even be a year after you fed that hungry homeless person but I guarantee you it will come back to you and not only come back but you will know that it came back because that's the power of it and it is very capable of taking that form. I myself fail often at being kind with words with people. I have PTSD and people have become something I prefer to avoid mostly and its cause I was hurt and let down many times and so I came to feel a bit too lonely and I think soon I will volunteer to help the homeless in this new area I moved to. I want to know that someone who was struggling......just like I had and did and someone with very little hope found kindness and was maybe.....not fulfilled entirely but atleast if I could fill a small part of their soul with something then if I did that over and over then I would have filled alot of small parts of many souls and I would have helped them on their most difficult experience or moment.
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE RUclips CHANNEL BLESS YOU I LOVE YOU 😄☀️🙏🏽❤️
wow that actually made me tear up a little bit. That never happens!
This really is beautifull.
I love this series so much! :)
I cried.
God I wish someone would do this for me as I am struggling with heroin addiction and could really use knowing someone cares that much.
Fighting an addiction is a hard battle most people choose not to fight
I think you are a very brave person for choosing to fight this battle
I'm glad you choose that and I'm sure you can win, you can do anything
And it'll get a lot easier very soon, just be patience 😊
Cody Meneke Not sure if you are saved or not. But have you ever thought about having a relationship with Jesus Christ? He can help you with your addiction. He loves you! You do not have to be "religious" to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, since religion is legalism. God does not want perfection, he just wants our hearts. The creator of this universe can help us with literally anything we are struggling with. Please say this prayer below, if you would like to get saved and have a relationship with Jesus.
Dear God, I am ready to give my life to you. I believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and that you raised him from the dead. I am ready to get saved and be set free. Please come into my heart. In Jesus name, Amen
I'm trying to find backers for a new kind of triathlon. Instead of the swim, we are to have competitors go 5 rounds with a heavyweight boxer, and then complete the bike portion, and marathon. I think the time is right for this kind of triathlon.
This experiment, while awesome, does not show the causality of binge good deed doing and increased happiness. You can have the same effect with any binge novelty activity. That's why we go to amusement parks. What would be interesting to know is how this experiment affected the subjects a week later. Great video! Misleading as it is. Still the message you are sending is clear. Do good things to others in largely comfort zone crossing ways and your happiness will improve. Or, just go skydiving.
You guys should do Subbable. I would totally pay for this!
This is the one of the best initiatives :)... I am even inspired to start a society around this on my campus
That's a great idea! If I were to do it, I would definitely plan the acts, otherwise I'd forget how many I'd done!
Awesome, with every video you teach me so much!
This is beautiful.
I wish I could see what the questions on the survey were.
I forgive in words and I mean it. However, my heart is broken. The hurt remains.
Sometimes healing takes a long time, but it will eventually come, but believe me I've had a lot of hurt, and healing does come at some, just don't give up hope. :) *hugs*
Love stuff like this! In the future I hope I have the money to leave people huge tips like that.
Aliya Pinkney You could buy someone's meal eating alone at a restaurant. I've done that and had the waitress just tell them that someone wanted to brighten their day. Kindness doesn't have to be expensive. Though we know servers work hard for they money so throwing them extra is nice too. :)
As a scientist I find these very amazing and educational..Keep up the good work ! :)
Pure acting !!!
I think almost every time I watch you i cry of happiness :')
Best RUclips Channel! :)
Thank you for a wonderful video 😊
I´m so stealing ideas from here! I LOVE YOUUU GUYS!!! YOU INSPIRE ME SOOOO MUCHHH THANKKKK YOUUUUU
