I have been thinking about the possible mechanism of actions of kindness in generating happiness. This is what i have figured out:
1. When we help others, we discover that there are people with worse problem.
2. When we help others, we discover that we are not the only one having similar problem.
3. When we help others, we may be helped by others who are grateful to us.
4. When we help others, we focus on our strengths and this promotes self-esteem.
5. When we help others, we become less preoccupied with our own problems.
6. When we help others, we may be appreciated and this makes us feel good.
7. When we help others, we get to meet more people, make friends and ventilate our problems.
8. When we help others, we get to settle our unresolved guilt.
9. When we help others, we activate parts of our brain responsible for happiness.
10. When we help others, a spiritual law automatically rewards us with happiness.
