About This Quote

When people do something that is good, they often feel that it was just a lucky coincidence or just because they are "good" or that it was the right time to do it. However, this is far from the truth. Often, people do things just because they are given the opportunity to do so. Other times, people do something because they are tired of living in the same place or they want to try something new.

Still other times, people do things for their loved ones and friends. Regardless, when people act on the goodness of their hearts, they often benefit greatly. This can be seen through many famous figures throughout history who have acted out of kindness and love for others while never once expecting anything in return.
