Recently I have read or seen several different instances of people contributing good deeds to humanity. Many of us may know this as paying it forward. Is this really a new or recent phenomenon? I don’t believe so. I feel that our society needs to takes a more accepting and gracious stance and attitude towards others. When this is done, we tend to be more humble and exhibit more positive traits including helping others. Helping others because we can or paying it forward is, in my opinion, vital to who we are as a people, how well we live our lives and how we better other lives.
