47. Acts of kindness

should be performed for *your* personal satisfaction and pleasure. Recipients are not obligated to respond in any way. And if their reaction does not live up to your expectations, the shame is on you, not them.

If your kindness does not come from your heart without expectation of reward or gratitude, they are not pure or worthwhile.

Your wife wins on this one.
