Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi Pitamind: Perhaps the value is doing kind things for others regardless of return. That, too, has value! It is my experience that you never know when kindness will be returned or to whom...remember the movie " Pay It Forward " ? Perhaps your kindness was repaid to someone else. I, too, value kindness just for it's own sake. It's a value that is in line with the person who I want to be. Take care! --- pitamind wrote: > Notwithstanding any particular religion here.
