Giving back and Paying it Forward

When it comes to random acts of kindness, whether they be scheduled in or on a whim, there are two sayings in english that are used to connote what compells us to do what we do.

1. Giving back
2. Paying it forward

I think it's cool that by doing one act we honor where we come from and where we can go as individuals and as a community (because, we're all in this together) :)

Sure, most of the time what we are doing are small acts, and small interactions. giving directions to immigrants, lending a hand to open doors to a lady w/ a stroller, offering a seat to your elders. But they are well-intentioned acts, and they are genuine interactions. It is interactions that bring people together, and make the world seem more personable.

Hello world, I'll open the door for you! ... :)

and Have a nice day too!
