Don't get me wrong, I love the sentiment and I think random acts of kindness are a refreshing change to our normal selfish world and I don't think people should stop. However, doesn't taking pics of what you're doing and posting them on the net for everyone to see take away from the randomness and turn it into a way to say you're better than everyone else? Keep up the random acts of kindness but ditch the need to let everyone know about it. Only then will it be a selfless act.
"This notecard and $ was given to my son today this afternoon by a complete stranger. What an amazing idea. I plan on joining in and paying it forward."
