At No Cost To You

What a truly delightful way to live. You must be a very happy man.

But I do lots of nice things for others too and yet nobody ever even asks me how I am. Do you need anything? It makes me feel invisible. Do I have to move far away to be noticed? Do I have to die to not feel like I am here all alone???

aww how sweet and kind of u!if only every1 was like u:) xxx

To be nice is fantastic! To try to help others is also really something! Only that not all those to whom you give a smile, a helping hand, or a funny gift can understand that what you do, might come from love and from the bottom of your heart without any kind of hidden meaning. It happens to try to be nice and to be treated as if you would want to steal something from those you treated nice. I think that those who misunderstand kidness must have had a very difficult life that took from them the capacity of seeing in a lovely gesture just genuine sincerity. But even if it hurts when your gesture are not understood I think that to be nice, to be kind could change something for real in such an aggresive world we live in and to make a difference. So as long as people like you still exist not everything is lost.

I do not understand why to share this? To say how good boy you are?Just being curious...

Good post and great credit to you :) I feel similar although I extend the same compassion to all (well I aim to) .Everyone ,every where needs to feel love,feel wanted,connected,part of..we really are all the same and just because someone has a whole heap of money or has been perpetually 'bad' does not diminish their human need...water,air,love,we all need .And in my way of thinking ,we are all conduits of love,my mother in law had a saying written in a book.

.Give a smile away,it'll come back another day.

You're right ...it costs nothing and makes you feel on top of the world :)

Wow. I have the same concept, but without any expectations or definition. Should be many more like those of us who "care". Dont ever change anything about this. Its who we are and that never should be changed. Although in my case I have always been that way, and so now have withdrawn even further sincits not worth it I have found out. Sometimes there is not even a simple thank you, which i dont even expect. The simple ways are definitely missing in this Me Me world- and again so I have chosen to shelter myself from the dissappointment to avoid hurt and decentcy of being "nice" . You are one in a million that truly is hard to find anymore.

Beautiful person, beautiful words and deeds.

I try to keep people happy and be someone who can create 'ease' in their lives or at least during the interaction with me. I am on the way to be like you, would love to be like you someday :)

keep up the good work,wee need people like you

I've always been like that. It doesn't just give that person a smile or laughter or whatever. It also makes me feel good and puts a smile on my face also. I've always tried to be kind to people. Help whenever I could and just make people laugh. I smile at people that go by and they usually smile back.

I also try to live my life as you do ... some see it as giving to others, but the real secret is how good the gift that you give yourself when you help others makes you feel! You become quite greedy for it after a while! I, too worked in retail or other customer-contact jobs for many years, and my chief talent was letting an angry or frustrated customer vent and feel heard and understood, and by the time they left or hung up the phone, they'd be laughing! My bosses just shook their heads! Or sometimes all it takes is paying a stranger a compliment ... I've been told I've made people's day simply by doing that. And of course, when the young person is trying to buy something off the dollar menu with only a handful of coins, I'll press a five into their hand and say, "lunch is on me today, pay it forward some time ...."

Hi Waymor, I liked your article. I really appreciate the fact that you encourage people to express their kindness and sensivitity. Nowadays more people prefer to hide their good side because they feel afraid to be hurt. Thank you :)

nice post...you are doing a very good job...I wish there were more people like you...I would want to be like you :)

So nice

It is hard to argue with the articles worthy intent. We should give every love tht we can. But sometimes giving is a tremendous waste. In my neighborhood, Poland, friendly conversations among are highly discouraged by culture. The fact that you initiate one can stereotype you as a "przyjechał." Przyjechał means "he came in." If you are a visitor to Poland, you will daily hear this mean word near you. It's despective in a thousand ways. But, worse of all, it sets you as a target of all kinds of psychological manipulations. Talking to children, sendong money for them, or even smiling to them in a bus, will raise all kinds of "flags of hostility." You do not want that. I did not even try to look at children of teenagers. It's taboo here. But I tried a thousand times to initiate a conversation with strangers. It was always a discouragement. Avoid any sign of "vodka" in the breath. Vodka turns all intentions into "personal evil." they will instantly rob you of all peace for days! You cannot win, only suffer. I have chosen to suffer isolation, rather than to suffer insult and slight. But I commend your beautiful article, which is the way the things should be. Sadly, we live in a terrible world.

I think your so completely right. I used to think, if i had money, i could do so much. But really, you don't need money, you just need compassion and a heart and some inspiration. Being nice is something we all can do very easily. I am on a new journey in my life now, have chosen a career helping disabled and seniors, and going to work everyday is a pleasure. Just seeing one person smile a day, because of you, makes it worthwhile. Also, i have been following a group on fb called pay it forward one day at a time. If you can even just do one nice thing a day, that appreciation or compassion can inspire someone else to do something , its like a chain reaction. I sometimes leave notes around for my co-workers, just telling them what a great job they did today, or how you make a difference. Sometimes, someone just needs that little bit of appreciation to carry on with there day. We could all make this world a better place if we could pay it forward everyday. I am just like you, i have a very big heart, love to help and see someone smile. It makes me feel so good and has helped me get through some toxic things in my life. We are all on our path, but making it the best path is really all we can do :) Thanks for your inspiration, i was looking for some today

In a world where people seem to be in a hurry, you have the spirit to stop by and unleash the human sunshine in you to the old and young. It's a great and admirable virtue. I would call you a silent healer because with your warm smiles and love, you have brightened and healed many dispirited folks. Things change when the glad soul like you arrives. Keep it up.

I wish I can be nice to people once again,but when I'm nice to people they take advantage of me and its painful.So I just stopped being nice to people to eliminate that problem,but it doesn't feel like it works.

Your beautiful spirit is an inspiration to me. I`m really starting to enjoy randomly making others feel good, doing something nice. You have mastered the art, my friend. Thanks you for making the world a better place, one person at a time.

Cheers.

Thank you for this beautiful post and for remind us of the power of a simple smile.

The world would be a much better place if everyone felt this way.

More people should be so kind as you.
