House call: A healthy soul

At this time of the year it is good to think of ourselves from an altruistic sense. One of my family's favorite commercials is the one demonstrating a chain of events with a person helping another, which influences someone else to do the same, and eventually the person who started the chain is the beneficiary of a benevolent act. I have seen many people get emotional when they tell me about an act of kindness noted in their day-to-day activities. One day, a woman told me she saw a person having difficulty and, as common for her, she provided assistance. Unknown to her, a person was watching and made note of the kind act, praising her for it. Even before the statement, she felt a very positive feeling inside that escalated after the comment.
