I love how you have express your faith in humanity by keeping your car doors open and carrying cash. I feel that it’s similar to law of attraction: you expect good things to happen to you, and they will.. and so is the opposite.

Thanks for another great post. Simple things you say really inspire me and give a whole new dimension to a thought process.

I agree with Gandhi’s quote. I am trying very hard to be the change we want to see in the world. Thanks for the blog and the ideas.

Leo,

Thank you for reminding me that there is still good in the world. I have had a stroke of bad luck lately, my car has been stolen twice already within a 1 month’s time. And I am sad to say that it has dropped my level of faith and love for humanity. But I read your wonderful words of wisdom, And I believe you are right. Humans are beautiful beings and I don’t believe it would be right or fair to give up on people. I swear from this day onward to make a conscious effort to pay the kindness forward or if no kindness has been shown, I will start the chain and ask only that everyone pays it forward. Thank you again for renewing my faith.

Keep up the good work.

To the owner of this blog zen habits, I wish to thank you.

I have started a small PAY IT FORWARD (PIF) movement.
I would like to invite people who are in alignment with PIF to join my movement.

I am offering a free account for anybody who wants to start a home based business. It is for anyone who do not have the funds to start a home based business or for anyone who has the funds but would like to be part of this movement to Pay Forward.

Please email me at selfmasteryint@pacific.net.sg and more details will be provided.

Thank you in advance to anyone who would like to be part of my movement. I am sincerely grateful if you respond.

LOVE, PEACE AND JOY

Great post! I’ve also noticed that people in big cities appear to be a lot more rude than people in small towns. This could be, in large part, because their personal space is constantly being invaded! Travelling by transit, car or foot, they’re constantly surrounded by people and vehicles on the way to and from work. When push comes to shove, a frustrated person isn’t going to care whether they hold a door open or say thank you…they’ll be more concerned about getting to their destination as quickly as possible to regain their personal space.

I have just discovered your website after ‘googling’ restoring respect compassion in humanity’! Thank you for your thoughtful commentary, particularly your idea that anonymity is behind people’s bad driving behavior. In fact I had become quite despairing as I travel a daily average of 80kms Monday to Friday and have concluded that most people on the roads have no patience respect or compassion. I know I am way past your first thirty contributers, but I would still love to read your e-book and will happily commit to an act of public kindness.
Kind regards
