Summary
Kindness is My Religion
Choosing kindness as your guiding principle cultivates a harvest of blessings. Your own spirit flourishes under the sun of selflessness, finding joy in uplifting others. The ripple effect of your actions creates a kinder world, where compassion becomes contagious and bridges form between differences. Deeper connections weave through your life, enriching it with genuine friendships and a profound sense of belonging. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, contributes to a symphony of harmony, making your own inner peace reverberate outward. Remember, kindness isn't just a philosophy, it's a revolution - one smile, one helping hand at a time.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Is everyone who is kind who really makes an effort to be gentle and respectful towards others happy? |
| 0:19.0 | No, of course not. Some people struggle with anxiety, they struggle with depression even though |
| 0:25.5 | they're a very kind person. But my next question is, is there anyone who really is unkind |
| 0:32.4 | who goes out of their way to really hurt others who is |
| 0:36.5 | happy? And I would say no, there are none. |
| 0:41.1 | If you decide to keep listening to this talk and at the end you disagree with me that may be the case but my hope is that I'll make a coded enough argument that you'll see the kindness has lots of benefits to us and those around us |
| 0:56.5 | and unkindness leads to the path of suffering. I want to start proving my point about unkindness leading to unhappiness by social media. |

| 1:32.1 | situation and what caused that person to be incredibly |
| 1:36.0 | unkind towards another. |
| 1:38.1 | But if you've ever seen these videos or read about an article about these heinous acts, |
| 1:43.6 | and then look at the comments afterwards, |
| 1:45.8 | what you'll see is just a plethora of vitriol |
| 1:50.3 | aimed at the unkind person. People in general hate people when they're unkind and they |
| 1:56.6 | will say so with strong verbiage. As a species overall people really hate them. |
| 2:04.0 | When people do unkind acts, they get so much anger and hatred towards them. |
| 2:09.0 | Sometimes they lose their businesses, sometimes they lose their jobs, sometimes police even go after them and they |
| 2:16.1 | put in jail. |
