Random acts of kindness

Last week there was a "Random Acts of Kindness" day. (RAK day)
At the weekend, one of the radio stations was encouraging listeners to ring in and describe their own RAK.
I have a few problems with this, and what I heard on the radio.
But.......before you jump down my throat telling me that RAK are a good thing, yes, I know that they are, but the radio phone in was all wrong.
RAK were originally supposed to be anonymous, with the act making the recipient smile. I have carried out RAK in the past, I won't say who, or what, etc.
But asking people to ring in and tell about their RAK, to me takes away from the act, in my eyes.
Another problem I had was people were saying that they did X for family member Y, and so on, but to me, it's natural to be kind to your family members.
Another facet of the original idea was to make a random stranger's day by your act.....not one person rang in udescribing their act to a stranger.
Being kind to others comes normal to less and less people, which is a shame, as the world we live in is becoming increasingly harsh, which is a great pity.

Random acts of kindness

Have you ever committed one of these?
I suppose that I did recently.
What I did was insignificant in the "grand scheme of things", but to the person who was on the receiving end...it will have positive effects.
So, I was happy to do what I did, and would do it again, without a thought, if I knew it would make just one random person happy.
If you ever do....it's the knowledge that you have helped make someone's day brighter that you get from it.
Just doing something random, can make another person's life lighter for a short while, and if it costs you nothing ....why not?

Random acts of kindness

Has anyone heard about this idea?
When I first heard about it, I thought.....that's not me
Yet, when I look back on things that I have done recently, perhaps I do commit "random acts of kindness", but to me they are just the acts of a decent human being.
What do you think of this idea?
