Kindness should not be transactional; Expecting reciprocity for a kind act only
sets one up for disappointment, and nothing
ill should come from kindness. Appreciate it
when it is mirrored, but do not be disappointed
or angry when it is not, for you are not being
kind only for the sake of the other party. You
are being kind for your own sake. Nowhere is
this truer than during interactions where
without your own, kindness would be
altogether absent from the equation.
