Definition of Random Acts of Kindness
June 2, 2006 at 1:31 pm 40 comments
According to Wikipedia:
A random act of kindness or RAoK is a selfless act performed by kind people to either help or cheer up a random stranger, for no reason other than to make people happier. Either spontaneous or planned in advance, RAoKs are encouraged by various online and offline communities.
An example of a random act of kindness is, when paying the toll at a toll booth on a highway, to pay the toll for the car behind you as well.
The second week of February is Random Act of Kindness week.
The phrase is a modification, or mangling, of "Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty", coined by Anne Herbert, as well as a play on the phrase "random act of violence."

Right here is the perfect web site for anyone who hopes to understand this topic.
You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I
personally will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh
spin on a topic that has been discussed for decades.
Great stuff, just great!

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to
my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would appreciate your work.

Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m
going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
