Kindness is a chemical. The purpose of life is not to be happy, but to be useful. Because Serving others automatically brings happiness. Happiness is always a by-product. It is never something that can be chased.

The moment we are chasing happiness, we are moving away from it.

Oxytocin is the hormone that gets released when we help someone. It is the same hormone that is responsible for social bonding.

Oxytocin is the 'love hormone'. It establishes the bond between Mother and Child. Also between sexual partners. But Oxytocin released during Kindness and help makes you fall in love with your own self.

Kindness is always a great way to begin the morning. I have a Pet at home. Just by feeding her, I feel enormous joy and satisfaction. We share a special bond via oxytocin.

As Buddha said, 'Compassion is the word.' If you want to make others happy, practice compassion. If you want to make yourself happy, practice compassion.
