When I saw the title of this post, I wondered, But why do we need a day to remind us to be kind? Why not make it a daily habit?
Wouldn't it be neat if we didn't need a Random Acts of Kindness Day, since random acts of kindness would be our default mode of operation?
I mentioned this elsewhere, and it bears paraphrasing here:
"I've heard it asked, 'Which would you rather be, smart or kind?'
My response: 'If you're smart, you'll be kind'"
