There is no specific reason why people show kindness. The act of kindness cannot be attributed to one or more causes because even people who show the greatest form of kindness are unable to explain why?, they did it. And often it so happens that the greatest form of kindness is not pre-planned but simply happens because of the pre-existing circumstances.Acts of kindness definitely makes us feel good about our self and makes us feel important. It earns us respect and sometimes fame as well. We might even be rewarded by similar acts of kindness in our time of need and we will set an example for our kids as well as everyone around.But, the main cause of kindness is kindness itself. All one needs to do is start out with a single form of act of kindness. And with every passing moment that person will be willing to give more and more to the world around. Kindness yields kindness and with every passing act of kindness, the following act intensifies until was has nothing left to give. Yet, one still yearns to give and contribute to the world. As it is said; "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"

I totally agree to what you say. It is true that we have good feelings for someone who are good to us. Kindness is like a two way traffic, once someone is kind to us we are bound to show the same kind of feeling to others. Even a small act of kindness to people can make a huge difference in their lives.
i like how you make the point that kindness yields kindness. it is almost as if it is contagious. when someone starts it it spreads. i also liked how you made the point the no one knows why they do it. they know why but they cant explain it. it is just something that is in us.
