Pay It Forward Foundation
It’s a lovely philosophy. But, it relies on people expecting something back for favours or good deeds. When I do something nice I don’t really expect anything back. Sometimes I try to do nice things secretly, so it will be an anonymous surprise. Also, that way no one feels they owe me anything, it was just a nice perk to their day.
Why do people expect something back? Isn’t doing something nice it’s own reward? Maybe I’m the odd one. I go around and make it a habit to smile at people as I pass them in the street, store, etc. I don’t know any of them but most will smile back. Some won’t look up from their feet though. Kind of sad I think, but they must be feeling pretty low to have their gaze resting at foot level instead of eye level.
When did you last randomly smile at someone? For no reason, just to spread a bit of positive energy.
