"Kindness never pays" might feel true in certain situations, especially if people take advantage of you. However, kindness often pays in ways that aren't immediately visible. for example: ~Kindness makes you feel happier by releasing serotonin and dopamine. ~It builds trust and strengthens bonds with others. ~Kindness inspires generosity and creates a supportive environment. ~Good deeds often come back to you when you least expect it. There are many more results like this.
