Few of us are downright mean people but most of us fail to be kind at one time or another. If you ever struggle with this, my advice is to simply act toward others the way you want to be treated.
You have probably seen the bumper sticker that reads “Practice Random Acts of Kindness.” I experience this for myself while in a drive-thru line. I pulled up to the window and the cashier said that the person ahead of me paid my bill. I was blown away by the act and immediately wanted to return the favor.
Another remedy is to do something kind for someone who may least deserve it. Performing such an act can be better than therapy. It is such a great feeling to receive kindness. Our giving it back feels just as good to those we interact with.
Mark Twain said, "Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."
