There are countless 'Random Acts of Kindness' which are both meaningful and impactful to the giver and receiver, yet often get drowned out among the sea of other posts. It's so easy to forget we're all a part of the Steemit community and the Earth itself when issues arise, sides get taken, sometimes people getting offended. I'm not saying to stop being opinionated, but I think a little break could be useful.

These don't have to be huge world changing things. For example I been trying to be in general chat a bit more, answer questions new users have as best I can, and try to provide continued support and motivation for those that are sincerely trying hard. This isn't much, I don't expect praise for this. I solely do this because I want to.

But I've been on the receiving end of such random acts of kindness by @knozaki2015, @arcurus, @hr1, the #payitforward and #minnowsunite groups just to name a few. These groups and users take their time and efforts to help the new people/minnows, etc. whether it being creating sites, hashtags, chatrooms, giving motivation, to donations of SD. (Don't interpret this to beg for SD.) To me even whales that do manual curation should be praised for their personalized time and effort. Unexpected support such as this motivates me (and I assume others) to do what things that can be a help others.

Personally I want to see positive, pay it forward, inspiring stories more on the trending pages. Because these people, acts and efforts are drowned out behind other concerns and slip through the cracks.

No matter how small, on Steemit or in real life, on the job or off, doesn't matter. I want to hear the GOOD things people do.
