We don't have to fake it to make it. I mean, first of all, we have to be a good person ourselves, and to treat our family members, our friends nicely is the biggest feat of all.

I would say it is too utilitarian to expect a reward out of an act of kindness. If we are acting out what we believe is right to do, then we shouldn't ask for anything in return. If you are willing to lend someone money, be prepared to lend them forever. If you love someone, don't expect the other will love you the same way in return. It doesn't really matter if we're doing kind things in a humble or flamboyant way – if the kind act could get more people involved in such acts, then make it known, it would be much more meaningful.

A lot of people measure kindness by how much money one has donated, which doesn't make sense to me. I have participated in several disaster relief activities, and I found some of the initiators of such activities are able to cover the fund being raised through such activities, but they insist in participating in the activities themselves. I think this is closer to kindness. To arouse in others the sense of kindness is very important. Have a kind heart, and follow it - do what we can do to make things better.

I don't think we should expect rewards. If not, we're fishing for fame and credit. The key to being kind is to really believe in it and persist with your actions.
