Shahram Heshmat, Ph.D., who is an associate professor emeritus of health economics of addiction at the University of Illinois at Springfield, says that ultimately, kindness is about putting other people's interests first, and it makes our lives better in a number of ways.
"Acting kindly makes us feel good. It feels wonderful to do something useful for someone. The 'helper's high' is the uplifting feeling that we experience after doing an act of kindness to others," he writes.

If he spoke to the Manager, he might be able to get a great discount. They love to support their community.
According to the professor, the "helper's high" shows up in our brain's reward system. "The experience is like consuming a piece of chocolate cake or having a pleasant surprise," he explains.
"It feels so good that the brain motivates us to do them again and again. As the proverb goes, it’s better to give than to receive. It makes you feel like your life is valuable."

And yet soooo many people in the USA are happy to let guns be freely available to pretty much anyone regardless of the consequences. Strangely, in Europe - particularly in the UK, there have been no mass shootings in schools for decades. Does anyone else think there might be a slight correlation here ?

My high school (decades ago) had a trumpeter in the marching band who was blind. The director got leather belt harnesses made, and the other trumpeters proudly took turns marching on either side of him. He memorized all his music, of course, and marched at all the games with everyone else. I suspect there are many stories like this!
Kindness is also contagious. "Kind acts can have a ripple effect—for example, giving a genuine compliment to a family member, friend, or colleague. When people receive kindness, they get an emotional boost and are more likely to help someone else," Heshmat adds. "Just hearing that someone else has behaved kindly can motivate us to do the same." These memes definitely add to the spread of the message!

Exactly! Given that many employers recruit online now as well, where are people going to fill out applications or write a CV/Resume if they have no computer or Internet? Even if they manage that and get an interview, how are they going to get there with no transport and what will they wear when they've only got the clothes they are wearing and no access to showers etc to clean up? If by some miracle they do get a job, they will possibly have to wait at least a month before they get paid. I hate hearing people say homeless people should just "get a job" like they haven't already thought of that and are choosing to be homeless.

We might even have data to back this up. A recent study published in the British Journal of Social Psychology also suggests that people seen as kind and helpful are perceived as more physically attractive.
In their new research, Natalia Kononov and Danit Ein-Gar focused on prosocial behavior—acts of kindness, cooperation, and helpfulness—and tried to understand whether this quality has a unique effect on perceptions of physical beauty. They hypothesized that people might feel motivated to associate with prosocial individuals, viewing them as more attractive because of an unconscious desire to form connections with people who display kindness.

"Often, we use beauty metaphorically to describe admirable inner qualities, saying someone is ‘beautiful on the inside.’ I was curious to see if this perception has a basis in reality—whether kindness and generosity, qualities associated with inner beauty, actually influence how we perceive someone’s physical attractiveness. Our findings suggest this association isn’t just metaphorical; beautiful acts do, indeed, lead us to see people as more beautiful,” says study author Natalia Kononov, a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dammit! Floods of tears. My youngest nibling was born with only one kidney. It’s failing so they are on a list (yes, they have asked us to use they). Last year, or maybe the year before, the doctors thought they found a viable match but the donor had died in an accident and my nibling totally freaked out knowing someone had died to give them a chance at life. As things turned out, the primary surgeon found a defect in the donor kidney and rejected it. I don’t know how my sister or my nibling keep going but maybe if this recognition of the gift that donors give was everywhere, my nibling wouldn’t feel so bad. If you pray, please pray. If you don’t (I don’t) please ask the universe to provide. They are a teenager. They should be out and about, breaking rules, finding themself. They should be falling in love with the wrong person and figuring that out. No. I don’t want anyone to die to save them. I just want them to survive.

Load More Replies... The research consisted of ten studies with over 4,000 participants. The team designed a variety of scenarios to assess whether prosocial behavior influenced how physically attractive people appeared to others. Participants in different studies either observed real-life prosocial acts, read descriptions of kind behaviors, or imagined scenarios involving helpful behavior.
To ensure the findings were comprehensive, the researchers accounted for several factors (they compared perceptions of attractiveness when participants saw people acting kindly versus in a neutral context) and explored how consistent prosocial behavior might affect attractiveness differently than one-time acts. They also examined whether the influence of kindness on perceived beauty was stronger than that of other positive traits like humor or intelligence.

The results were clear: there was a consistent link between prosocial actions and higher ratings of physical attractiveness. People who were described as engaging in kind or helpful behaviors were rated as more beautiful than those who were not. These findings held true for both male and female observers evaluating targets of either gender, suggesting a broad appeal of prosociality in enhancing physical attractiveness.

Those are truly beautiful sweaters. What a wonderful thing to do. To use your time and creative energy to help the world. I wish my next-door neighbor would do that. He's 85 and his spends his life complaining about the world (despite having good health, financial stability, and really, everything you could need at that age). My other neighbor down the street is 92 and sews quilts for the needy, knits hats and scarves for the cold, and crochets teddy bears for poor children. Imagine if more people were more giving. What a great world we would have

This should be standard. It would be so encouraging until blood donation becomes a happy habit.
Kurt Schilling 1 year ago
About 50 years ago, I heard a PSA on a local AM radio station in Lakeland, FL requesting blood donations for a young woman. I donated in her name that afternoon. A couple of months later I got a "She made it, Thanks" card in the mail. I started donating regularly after that. Had to stop eventually somewhere between 6-7 gallons of blood.

In the U.K. you can get a message when your donation is used. It’s a selfless act giving blood, you have no idea who you’ll help but you can rest assured it’ll make a huge difference to a fellow human. I was given over 3 pints way back in 1982, it saved my life after a severe bleed following an accident that fractured my skull and damaged my neck. I’ve donated blood and I’m registered for organ donation, I’m only here because someone out there saved my stupid a*s when I was 8, it was entirely my own fault that I got injured, I hope my donation keeps another fruit loop alive!

The American Red Cross app will track your donations and let you know where they were used. It is easy to find donation sites through the app. You can also answer screening questions in the app ahead of your donation appointment to minimize time at the appointment. Blood donation is one of my 'hobbies' in retirement.

I’ve seen so many kayakers, sailors and canoeists take that first move out onto the water, it levels up adults and children, in fact the children usually have less fear and more desire to just enjoy the experience than the adults. We all have that first paddle or lesson that sets us off on a journey, paying attention to that feeling is important, it reminds us to stay humble and it is crucial that we remember that milestone. Stretch yourself and enjoy watching your fellow humans taking those first tentative steps!

The Housing First program. Homelessness went fro. 8500 in 2009 to about 3500 last year. The US currently has (at least) over 650,000 homeless. It is roughly the same percentage, but housing that many is a mu h more difficult proposition. And tgis does not count families that do not report homelessness and temporarily stay with friends and relatives for long periods of time.

Same happened here. We now only have temporaily homeless people. You get a temp place to stay for 6 months while you wait for a permanent one.

We had a hen who wouldn't leave the nesting box because she believed the two eggs she was sitting on were fertile (this is called being "broody", and no, there was zero chance they actually were fertile). So we bought two chicks, put a bag over her head, and quickly replaced the eggs with the chicks. Next morning she was strutting around the chicken pen, proud as punch with her new babies in tow. She raised them both to adulthood like a champ.

He set it up to help the homeless, people going through hard times. They can get a good meal and help out in the restaurant to pay for it. Being able to not have it feel like charity makes a big difference to them. Many get jobs there are paid decent wages. They are trained in whatever areas interest them. Most go on to other, better jobs eventually. But he has quite a few that have been there for years, having worked their way up. He helped one of his cooks pay for culinary school after his head chef's told him how talented he was. Apparently, he was trying to save & support his family . Jon Bon Jovi got him admitted to a culinary school close by. He didn't give him the tuition, but they worked out a deal - Jon paid for a semester ( or whatever they call it). If he did well in his studies, Jon would subtract however much. If he didn't, he had to pay it off by working once he graduated. Story is he pretty much aced school and had quite a few job offers, but turned them down so he could repay Jon first. I read that he is still there and is one of the top guys in the kitchen. And BTW, the restaurant DOES make a decent profit. Most people like Bon Jovi's idea so much that something like 70% overpay for their meals AND leave good-sized tips. Not all celebrities are willing to go this far, but the ones that do make such a difference!

I would assume prisons have hospitals? Also, does the child live in prison with their mother???
Faelwolf 1 year ago
Prisons don't have hospitals, only a sick bay similar to a clinic. They do have emergency trained staff and nurses who can prepare for transport by ambulance in emergency cases (usually trauma) and officers ride in the ambulance along with a chase car, and the inmate is secured with handcuffs, a waist chain, and leg irons as much as the situation allows. In most prisons, she would get transported to the hospital maternity ward. She would not be allowed to take the baby back to the prison with her, it would become a ward of the state and be turned over to CPS for foster care until claimed by a relative.

There have been cases where the child was allowed to stay with the mother a little while. I think one was breastfeeding because the baby had digestive problems. I think it was a minimum security prison so the courts allowed it for the child's health. I could be wrong. It was ages ago

I hate hospitals to this day. When I was 12, I had to get tonsils out. Mom couldn't stay with me like the other kids. 7 kids and 5 of them were 5 or younger. Most were asleep by 7-730. The other 12yo and I were allowed to be out and about. The charge nurse knew I was scared, so she created games for him & I to play on the other side of the ward. Best was running, stopping at a certain mark & seeing who slide the farthest. She drew "tattoos " on our arms (where we'd get shots the next day), wheelchair races (I bombed! Was hard!), got us ice cream at 9pm (couldn't eat after 10pm), did picture and word games on a big white board type thing. My point is, that small act of kindness makes a huge difference for the kids. Wont make them forget all the bad, but it will give them a good memory that helps put the bad in the back instead of the front. My surgery was November 7th, 1977. As much as i still hate hospitals, i always remember that night before and it helps a little

Frankly, given the percentage of wolf, its surprising he was dropped off only for being too big. Wolves and wolf dogs do Not make good pets. They aren't domesticated, and don't have a dog's inherent desire to obey. They need a LOT of space, a companion, and a great deal of 'enrichment' (to say nothing of diet). But if you keep one in your house? They Will destroy it. I volunteer at a wolf sanctuary. I love all our guys and girls dearly, and they make great companions at the sanctuary, but I would never try to keep one at a pet. So please, Please, don't get a wolf dog because you think its 'cool' or want to be like Game of Thrones. Definitely don't get one as a guard dog. They will hide behind You, expecting you to protect them.

To be fair, wolves don't attack humans. They Know that any fight (especially against humans, which are the number two killer of wolves), is likely to result in death, and they are smart enough to stay away. So in reality the 'fight' would involved the wolf running away. Now, granted, if you could arrange a situation where the wolf actually Did fight back, the average 'bro' would absolutely die.

My parents had a neighbor in TN who had a pure white dog that was half wolf (unknown when they adopted him as a puppy). Parents had a full-sized dachshund around 12-15 pounds .He was best friends with this massive lump of lovable energy. His tail could have knocked you over! During Puck's 3x daily walks, they stopped at Mason's first, around the block, then back to Mason's to visit and give him the treats dad carried. Mason's owners had to have the fence built higher and eventually replaced because Mason' jumped over to go visit. It ended up being just about 10 feet! He was extremely well trained and loved having Puck come in his yard to play. As big as he was, he was so careful around Puck. If you let him, he would literally wash your face in a lick. Here, you're not allowed to own a dog with more than 20% wolf, I think. I don't even know how they would get a chance to mate in our urban area
