Kindness

I feel that there aren’t a lot of kind people out in the world today. I remember growing up that when someone would say “Thank you”, I was taught to say, “You are welcome”. I feel like people in general don’t say those back or even to each other. Why is it so hard to be kind to someone? For me kindness is a “normal” thing. It’s rare if I don’t say, “please”, “thank you”, or “your welcome”.  It’s funny how sometimes after saying any of those I’ve been given strange looks almost like the person is asking me, “Why are you being so polite?”, and to me that’s just what you should say. I was told the saying, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
