Being kind to other people when I don’t need to be
It’s one of the reasons I like Lemmy — it gives me lots of opportunities for that. When someone has made a comment that I really appreciate, I like to leave them a comment to that effect. It feels like leaving a super upvote.
Having had this habit for quite a while now, I’ve realised that I am the primary beneficiary of this habit. After all, the people I am kind to are dispersed such that the effects of my kindness are distributed and not contained to one person — except for me; I’m the constant here, and I’ve found that the more I cultivate this way of thinking and acting, the nicer a place my head is for me to exist in.
