The world as we know it is already a cruel world, it has never been a fair place, equality exist where equity ought to, many are suffering in silence and in pain, and many are looking for someone who would just hear their words, their thoughts and show some good to them. There are many on the verge of giving up and only need a good word from another. ![hands-1201826_960_720.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQVmqeqpyWovoBiTo329oL1rYJzR3GWCXPmCQBtSXLAY6/hands-1201826_960_720.jpg) _{[image source](https://pixabay.com/photos/hands-placed-inside-each-other-1201826/)} You may underestimate how much impact your affection and love for others may mean to them, you may underestimate how much that gesture of empathy mean to that friend you, that acquiatance you decided to help, that no body who came to you for help and you readily assisted. Perhaps if you could see into their minds and read their souls you would understand. It pays to be kind to others, both strangers and non-strangers alike. It actually saves to be kind to others, there are many who have received immeasurable blessings as a result of the good that they did for others without even realizing that it was a result of that supposedly meaningless help that they rendered out to others. ![help-3049553_960_720.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQpQ3ydVhFgwqNR6dcuEVPEm7RA2voNbRwAQJ7GDmDGBC/help-3049553_960_720.jpg) _{[image source](https://pixabay.com/photos/help-hand-offer-despair-depression-3049553/)} It is not an easy habit to cultivate, especially in our part of the world where lots of superstitious beliefs have been imbibed in us from the word go, but it is something that if you make up your mind that you want to do you can actually do and you would be so much proud of yourself for it later in life. So i encourage you, be kind to others for the profits you will reap will be immeasurable.
