In the words of American writer Henry James: “Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” I often think of this quote, though it comes to mind more during Random Acts of Kindness Week, which falls from February 13 to 19 this year. Created by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, a non-profit, privately funded organization founded in 1995, the week is devoted to encouraging individuals, groups and communities to make a conscious effort to do something good for somebody – and quite possibly inspire others to do the same.
