A study published in an online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences provides the first laboratory evidence of something many of us have known all along: acts of kindness are contagious. According to the article, when people experience acts of kindness, they “pay it forward” by being kind to others.

By performing only a few acts of kindness each day we can positively impact the lives of a fairly large number of people. As Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert put it, “Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.”
