Kindness is contagious: How a single act of kindness can ripple out to more than 100 people

Did you know that one act of kindness can ripple out to more than 100 people? It sounds unbelievable, but research on social networks shows that kindness spreads much further than we imagine. When you’re kind to someone, they’re more likely to be kind to someone else. That person may then pass kindness on again. This ripple can travel through three degrees of separation. So imagine this: You’re kind to one person. They pass kindness to five others. Those five each pass it to five more. And suddenly your single act has influenced 125 people. There are no isolated acts of kindness. Every act creates a ripple. So if you want to change the world — or simply brighten your corner of it — Start a ripple.
