> Oddly enough, I *just* heard a sermon on the topic, and the pastor's conclusion was that a lot of time it is a matter of paying attention. That people often are kind, but rarely focus on their surroundings enough to notice that there is a need for a kindness.
I think it goes the other way too, you have to recognize the kindness being shown to you. I've found I have to really acknowledge to myself when it happens, otherwise it just gets buried in the negativity. Its a matter of perception I think.
