LPT: It takes extreme strength and courage to be a consistently kind person in a world that rewards selfishness. Make sure to thank people who demonstrate kindness. They are choosing the hard, selfless route in order to make the world a better place for everyone.

A simple “thank you for your kindness. It takes a lot of courage and strength to be kind” goes a long way.

It also reminds you that their kindness is a choice and that it does indeed take strength and courage.
