"text": "Aesop wrote in The Lion and the Mouse, \"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.\" Small, random acts of kindness can brighten someone's day in a significant way. They may lift them out of a sunken mood, or bolster their already elevated mood. When kindness is shown to someone, there is a good chance they will pay it forward, and kindness will ripple outward. When someone shows kindness, they benefit too and get a feeling of satisfaction, among other things.\nThe Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, which started in 1995 and is based in Denver, created Random Acts of Kindness Day and placed it at the end of Random Acts of Kindness Week. The day exists to make the world a better place one act of kindness at a time. It is a day to give well wishes and encouragement to others, to help others, to share gifts, and more. A similar holiday with the same name has been celebrated in New Zealand on September 1 since 2004.",
