    Please could we introduce this to the school curriculum...starting with the teachers. Imagine what a different world we would create in a generation.

    Very inspiring and helpful. I am recuperating from heart surgery and have been soul searching how did my heart develop 3 occluded arteries. In this talk I realized how as I have aged I choose to close my heart instead of living from the heart. I have very few close friends a don't get to interact with them often. I like the idea of doing a kindness day, and practicing the Buddhist compassionate meditation. Then it occurs to me how many people like me would benefit from the support of a kindness club. Perhaps I'll start one.

    This is so lovely and inspiring, thankyou x
    I really agree with the fact that we're wired to be kind and not selfish.
    If we were wired to be selfish, the world wouldn't have evolved the way it did.

    Kindness is fine as long as it doesn't turn into people pleasing.

      people pleasing isn't kindness to either side, it's roots are based on your own unmet needs

    Whenever I show kindness I’m told that I’m either being manipulative, a goody two shoes or weak.Not everyone wants or appreciates kindness. As a consequence, I now withhold my compassion and give it only to my husband and dog.

      the secret is to let go, kindness for kindness sake is the point, not the anticipated thanks
