Is it becoming a much more angry world than it used to be? Where has consideration for others gone? Respect for other people's feelings. Treating each other with kindness. When is the last time you performed an act of kindness for someone else with no expectation of payback?

I try to live my life like this everyday. Never missing a chance to smile or say I love you to those I care about. Practicing random acts of kindness for no reason at all.

But there is a payback isn't there? Even if it isn't for us and we don't expect it.

Not necessarily more angry, just more selfish.

I have raised 3 boys alone from toddlers to men...I have given my entire life to them..

I try to be kind everyday of my life

And it has come back to me in all ways

Kindness. Goodness.

It does not cost a dime!!

I think you are right, it has become an angry world. I also think a lot of it has to do with how busy people have become to make a living. Trying to balance all of these things is not healthy for anyone, and creates anger and hostility.

I did something for someone on Sept. 1st, that they truly needed done. I told them to just pay-it-forward when they got the chance.

Is it becoming a much more angry world than it used to be?

It is a more restless, unsatisfied world.


Where has consideration for others gone?

It's right here...there...everywhere....it's just dormant, is all.


Respect for other people's feelings.

Respect for AUTHENTIC feelings are very different to self serving platitudes.


Treating each other with kindness.

Kindness is not always soft and gentle.


When is the last time you performed an act of kindness for someone else with no expectation of payback?

Every action I take is based in kindness, and never has an agenda attached to it....if there is benefit in it for me, it is the comfort of knowing someone's day is a little lighter.

Good to know there are like-minded ppl on here

I'm praying there is... Keeping my anger in check far too long for there to not be...

I sent my yearly check to the IRS.--

I don't think people are really any different than they have ever been. I think every generation tends to romanticize the past.

I really should have named my kids Karma and Fate.

There is anger everywhere, but I don't let it affect me
