Do not underestimate good, thinking it will not affect you. Dripping water can fill a pitcher, drop by drop; one who is wise is filled with good, even if one accumulates it little by little. Dhammapada 9:7
When we practice random acts of kindness in our lives, we gradually build a reservoir of goodness which fills our hearts and actually changes the hearts of others. Have you ever noticed how a smile or a compliment can change a person's attitude and their work day. This small gesture will ripple out into the lives of others and who knows how many dogs won't get kicked after work.
Practicing kindness is one example of how something small can grow into something huge. What we do daily slowly affects our lives and those with whom we have contact, especially our children. What do you chose to practice and spread?
