This 🌍 needs more kindness❤

BBC has taken up a very noble endeavor . People will be away from psycho somatic problems and teenagers can be kept away from smoking, drinking and drug abuse. May god blossom your consciousness, all the members of BBC team

Thanks, BBC for a helpful lesson as usual. My note while listening A random act of kindness such as helping strangers to cross the road. The main topic is kindness which scientists have become very interested in. According to Dr. Campbell, kindness seems counter-intuitive at first as it can cost something as we give away presents, and money to help others without having anything in return. Actually, we can experience a sense of reward or a warm glow when we're kind to others. Our brain remembers this kind of experience and motivates us to do something kindly again and again. In the ruthless world of politics and business, people often believe that empathy is unnecessary. However, compassionate leadership in fact leads to a fairer society, lower crime rates and a higher level of public health and well-being. It actually takes courage to act with compassion.

Thank you verymuch!!!!

Kindness is everyone's must-have norm & behavior.

Excellent way to give kindness to others

Some people call this “kindfullness”. Giving kindness to others makes you happy as much as doing mindfulness I think❤️
