hey you. yeah you. i bet you have never walked up to a stranger and just given them a hug, although today it could get you in trouble, or looked them in the eye and said,"hey it's a great day today hope it is for you as well." you would be amazed at how receptive they are to you. i was in the store the other day, and some guy walked up to me and handed me a dollar,for no other reason than to do something nice. it really got me to thinking. what if everyone started doing something close to that.wouldn't it be wonderful, if just by doing one simple little act of kindness we could make our country GREAT again. we would be known as the kindest nation in the world. it's something to think about anyway.so i will leave you with this one thought.how hard is it to show someone a little kindness. the next time you see a homeless person ,out in the cold,go in the coffe shop and buy them a cup. that one act of kindness is worth a million dollars.

I often do little things for my customers in the store I work at. Like if someone goes a penny over on their petrol I let them off, or if someone is short of cash and they're nice to me I let them off what they are short. But I love the idea of telling someone "hey, it's a great day today, hope it is for you as well" or buying a homeless person a cup of coffee just on a whim. I also love the giving a dollar just for the hell of it idea.

Go to an anime convention dressed up as a video game character and you will get loads of random hugs from total strangers. People at anime conventions in Ireland are like the people you are talking about above they are all really nice and helpful.
