Yesterday at the gym, when I was done, I said hello to a old man who was also done. It started a conversation which felt really nice. I am a social guy but I'm not feeling the best atm. This video sparked the social guy in me again and I'm gonna look out for more nice and kind gestures again

[@chrisnam1603]

Kindness (from Belgium) is something more 'n more rare in our society, it's devostating. Like : 'how do we change the world? One random act of kindness at a time' & 'random acts of kindness create waves of peace'... i miss it so so badly.

[@janawall3306]

I know someone who does kind things all the time. That person gives good things, does great things. And this person is mocked, never reciprocated, even called names. Yet they continue on. Always hoping. In Atlanta, United States. The more kind people are peripheral people that surprise you by helping IF ASKED. But not wanting to be any closer, and usually one off.

[@georgeelmerdenbrough6906]

An act of kindness is a form of empowerment . " I controlled the tone of this particular interaction to the best outcome possible " .... its alleviating that feeling of being at the whim of the world .

[@angelahodgetts107]

Really enjoyed this x we have no idea what people are going through and kindness costs nothing. All the daily news is so negative and people ass so stressed. We need to take care of ourselves, stress less and find the good in each day

[@keepitreal1547]

Brilliant stuff. What always surprises me in such chat, is the unwillingness or being kinda frightened to speak with a stranger. We're supposed to be social beings & to me it's always been a daily normal thing to speak with strangers, in the act of giving, in bring friendly, in being just sociable & interested in others. No other animal has the ability of apathy of thought & ease of speech, we really ought to (as a collective) practice this much more often. We should never be afraid of it, as many are.

[@Ultimatefitness360]

U should also upload small clips which have moral of this video or main message hidden in this video because its very hard to understand these long videos specially for a rural indian like me

[@KenzXYZ]

Hello, my rural Indian friend. Yes, I agree with you, there should be timestamps/chapters to topics discussed. Especially so if you are shouting about how to get instant relief from anxiety in your title then you land on your video and now instead of dealing with anxiety instantly, as promised by the title, you are 'forced' to watch all video.

[@Ultimatefitness360]

@@KenzXYZ thats my point too .. i totally agree with u

[@heiko1248]

haha, thanks, I just wanted to post exactly that comment. 1:40 hours of my precious time for some hack that probably is along the lines of what everyone else say's, and that could be discussed in 5 min. What the heck.

[@upstream1942]

My belief is that kindness between individuals has been among us since the beginning of time. It is probably necessary to keep a tribe together. So it is in our genes, and nature has seen to it that we feel good when we have been good to another human being, to make it prevail. We just have to recognize it. And we obviously need to be reminded. So thanks!

[@BarryAnderson]

We took in some homeless couple to let them stay with us for 5 months rent free and of course kindness and free lunches cannot go on forever and their must of course be a line drawn in the sand but we did what we could afford at the time . The world has much suffering in all countries of every walk of life and self love and understanding must be addressed first by the host and then humility and understanding of other people less fortunate financially and socially and physically is in our HEART is a true virtue that when the giver can afford to be kind to help this world to be a better place to live is a good thing really . Holistic Chef Barry retired from the Animation Film Industry is sharing and caring in his own modest way . Thank you and be well and be kind.

[@youngandprofitingpodcast]

51:19 - I totally agree! If you don't look after yourself, you will experience burnout. You can give so much to everyone else, but don't forget to look after yourself. Always put yourself first.

I realize your not expecting this kind od comment but I want to tell you I love your hair doctor Chatterjee

I have alleviated some stress in my life by not fixating on solving the riddle of life . I am going to die . I will find out then if we continue or I won't ever know anything again . I have not existed before and that has never caused me harm . It won't a second time .

"Be kind, rewind" as they used to write on the videotapes...

[@AP-nx6xo]

Some people are kind. Some are selfish miseries lol Im kind and I like myself because of it 👍🏻

[@HansenFT]

Bragging, at least, comes from the heart, I'll give you that. Don't know how it scores on credibility though. Given that awareness/recognision of when one isn't something is usually a necessary prerequisite for being especially good at that something.

[@AP-nx6xo]

@@HansenFT interesting Seriously. You made me think

[@Fegga1955]

Thank you

I no longer blindly follow trends . What I do now has a purpose and so then do I . Its self affirming .

Cultivating kindness, gratitude, & other values are being studied at the Duke University for Healthcare Safety and Quality. They’ve developed well-being tools to promote resilience & prevent healthcare burnout. There is a tool on daily acts of kindness.

[@janawall3306]

They want your kindness if you look like you're prosperous, have a family, have money. "There's more where that came from".

[@abdelilahbenahmed4350]

"If you give charity openly, that is good. But if you keep it secret, and give it to the needy in private, that is better for you. It will atone for some of your misdeeds. God is cognizant of what you do." Holy Quran.

Yesterday I was watching CNN NEWS, Binance CEO was talking about how investors and traders can make millions. And he recommended an expert called Lawrence Hite please can someone tell me more about his trading services..?

[@lisayuan8036]

Sounds cool and how do I go about getting started? And how much $ do I need to start up with

[@wallacefelix9548]

Note I didn't invest only in one income crypto combine with bonds investment with Lawrence Hite is the best decision anyone can make.I started with $200k anyone can start with little as you can loose depends on what you want.🇱🇷

[@kahlanelaine9265]

I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mr Lawrence Hite I think he is the best broker I ever seen

The problem in british society is kindness is construed suspiciously as an act to get money or evil deed. Brits cannot tell the difference.

[@AP-nx6xo]

Im sorry but you cant generalise like that.

[@artandculture5262]

Him being rich and him having power makes him feel kind, and how he feels about himself is all that matters to him. Self-adjudicated man.

[@meesamagill1193]

Key word here is 'apparently'

[@HansenFT]

Very flawed methodology regarding ranking men/woman and introverted/extroverted as more or less kind based on "positive" acts of kindness. Certain notorious dictators throughout history would probably score very high here. (They often granted peoples wishes when they recieved letters etc..) it's pointless unless you include "acts of meanness." Also introverts have a tendency to have more self-awareness, at least stereotypically, and would perhaps (which is a key word here) cringe much more at ranking themselves as "especially kind" compared to others. Beyond that it's obvious that someone who is less around other people probably would score low on ALL types of "actions towards others".. I could also see certain types of narcissistic people score legitimately high on acts of kindness, all the wile destroying their own family members at home, when no one else is watching.. Very flawed methodology.. and I didn't even go into the issue with self rapporting on this spesific type of question. I don't think certain buddhist munks for instance would rate themselves as especially kind, because they are aware of the selfish aspects of doing things for others, such as the good feeling one gets after.

[@ProdavackaDivu]

Very true

[@swedishkev]

You can not talk to people in Sweden, especially Stockholm. It's a known thing no small chitchat with strangers, You will frighten Swedes if you dare talk to them. You are well out of order. This is not with all people over there but this is a real thing. being reserved is their culture. Very sad.

[@janawall3306]

I don't like her. She's talking about virtue signaling and being so chuffed you did some little nothing. Get over it. Do it but forget about it. I'm abused as often as made feel better. You are who you are and you will go on regardless. Her tests are meaningless.
