Thanks for your comment Sara!
That is an interesting point. I'm going to have to research that further as
I don't know the answer – if a tree falls in the forest, and nobody is
around to hear it, does it make a sound? =)

The research is compelling, and it's also something I've experienced in my life. The simple act of opening a door for someone else can put a smile on my face. But I do wonder if recognition for one's efforts plays a role in the happiness as well. When good acts go ignored, does it diminish the happiness?

Thanks for dropping by Eric! I like the analogy – it's good for you long
term, it's just hard to get moving sometimes. Thatt's just given me an idea
for a post too!

I look at giving of ourselves in the same way as exercise. It's often hard to start doing it, but you always feel better afterward. And the parallel continues with the fact that we are always better off when we give, just like when we work out. Kind of cheesy analogy, I know. Just a way I remind myself of the fact that I NEED to give just as much as others NEED to receive.

Thanks for taking the time to lay out such a solid post. Eric.
