when you do something nice (that takes very little effort) you feel all good inside....and it's quite out of proportion to the good deed.

Thats it I think WWW, tho' I do like random acts of kindness.

Is it casting bread upon the waters (non religously) sort of what goes around comes around

its the little things that make all the difference in the world

so don´t discount the good vibe that a small deed can bring as out of proportion!

If you plan to do "good" things doesn't that kind of negate the meaning

If you only do them so you feel good - that's wrong isn't it

But you didn't think "well if I look after their kids - they will like me more" or even if I have her children she will have mine oneday

Which I feel that american site is a bit that way

You probably said "they'd really like it and it's easy enough to do" or something..not what I will get back in return
