I have to go with ngdawg - Do unto others and all that. Its such a simple rule. And really, how often do those little everyday kindnesses take anything at all from us. Its not like its hard to hold the door a little bit longer for the person behind you.
This past Christmas, I was really impressed with my little brother. My parents told me that one day after a work party, he took all the left overs (a ton of em), put them in his car, and started driving around San Francisco just plating up food for the homeless.
But really for me, its not selfless - there's nothing better than bringing a suprised smile to someones face. As we are all so jaded, small acts of kindness can go so much further.
