Kindness is a beautiful investment. Though not necessarily in monetary terms. Even if I offer a seat to an elderly, I do hope that somehow, the kind gesture will be get forwarded to my Mom when she’s in need of it.
So, would such a kind act (made with a hope of reward) still hold good, in your opinion?

Sure, and Why not, my Dear Sweety! But! It would have be bigger to be a Game Changer, which is what We need!
Though Monetary help is not a big thing, but it is NEEDED in today’s world. Think of the man in the post asking for Food for his two little girls.
Also, I still dare and challenge people to Open their Homes to the Poor. (I am not saying it would be without problems).
Love and Regards. 🙂

Hmm, the last is fraught with danger. Into the homes would be too extreme a step.

Well and Truly said. But Our ONLY question is: “What would Krishna say?” 🙂

Krishn was a wordsmith. He could say words that leave people weaving different interpretations.
Were you referring to Krishn’s idea of kindness or his views on inviting strangers within the hearth?

Inviting absolute strangers within the hearth, even on a permanent basis… is it not an extension and expression of Kindness, my Dear Sweety?

It used to be. But in today’s times, its risky. Of course, it would depend on circumstances – like if neighboring building was on fire and the inhabitants needed shelter till their homes were restored – yes, I would invite them in.
But strangers? No, I wouldn’t try that. Better safe than sorry.

Monetary help too, is an option, but only if the money goes direct to seeker (and not to the middlemen who may have ulterior motives).
What did Zach do?

2. Acts of Kindness of a way of Producing a ‘Glow’ to the ‘giver.’ We can get lost in that, keep Basking in that.
To be NI-Svaarth, (Selfless; just explaining it to the Non-Indians!) We have Give in such a way that it HURTS us. That is what Mother Teresa, that Champion of Kindness, said! 🙂
