Here is an article I found the other day -

I question whether or not we can be truly, lastingly happy—whether we can really lead meaningful, joyful lives—if we are not also kind, generous, compassionate.

I tend to believe His Holiness the Dalai Lama: “If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”

Enjoy!

This story does not mention the word "kindness" but the actions are those of people who responded kindly

https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/ins...-helps-him-get-a-permit-and-start-a-business/

Instead of shutting down a teenager’s hot dog stand for not having a permit, the city helped him turn his stand into a business.
...
“It’s the cooking and the people,” he said. “I see someone go by with a frown on their face. I’m there with a smile, then I see a smile on their face. I just made a smile on somebody’s face by selling them a hot dog.”

It's fairly simple really. If you treat your fellow creatures with kindness, you will enjoy good karma. If you do the opposite you are bound to suffer one way or another. It's a perfect way to sabotage your own happiness.

Just found this site -

The impact you make cannot be measured or evaluated by a number. The impact you make is something you feel when you offer a piece of wisdom, comfort someone who is suffering, make someone laugh, vulnerably share your experience, or show up at what you judge as your “dead-end” job with a positive attitude.

Do not underestimate the difference you make. Do not downplay how your love and kindness matters. Do not fall into the trap of thinking that you need a big platform or specific career to make a big impact.
