Even if it seems like it is not having an impact or if it seems like it is rejected, it still is so significant.

I think in addition to the calming activity, you need to know a few more things to successfully help the person actually relax and calm down, and this is best done by a counselor.

Kindness is a viable option all the time and on every occasion. When you can’t see that, look harder.

People wonder what's in it for you, as if you have to have a reason to be nice to them! I ignore that. I know my kindness will be accepted with good grace another day and that makes up for the awkward times when it's not. Better to give and be rejected than not give of yourself at all. Nice article.

I feel kindness isn't often expressed or felt these days often. It's a reflection on our society that people have to consciously think about being kind rather than it coming naturally to the majority. You don't even hear the word much anymore. A kind word or soothing tone can be so healing too. Thanks for the article, Christopher. I feel kindness isn’t often expressed or felt these days often.
