“Always set high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his own accord will love you more than one whom you have been at pains to attach to you.” — Samuel Johnson

My roommate and I are co-conspirators in kindness. We hold the door open for people in our apartment block all the time. We saw this girl with tons of things wheeling her trolley and helped her move everything. We helped a lady move her stuff from the elevator to her house, took the groceries to an old woman’s apartment and washed our friend’s car anonymously. Today we saw an old woman fall down at the bus stop. We stopped, inquired if she was fine, got her water and made her laugh by telling her about times we had fallen So much fun having a roommate who is a kindness conspirator!” –monkeyinpajamas

An important part of a new paradigm world is moving from taking to giving and receiving. Of course this is also part of the Golden Rule so its really not new but putting it into practice more may be. I found the story of Julio Diaz inspiring and worth remembering and sharing. I hope you enjoy it too.
