"Act with kindness but don't expect gratitude." -Confucius.

Why do we do what we do? For emotional reasons, of course. Logical or rational thinking is trampled by emotion, every time. In an interaction with another, emotional thinking is difficult to accept from both perspectives: from the giving and from the receiving. We get disgusted with ourselves, and we also don't trust the other.

It messes with your head.

The solution? We should do everything with kindness. We should do things for others without an ulterior motive.

Kindness is done best when it is felt but not attributed. When the receiver does not know the source, it is then true and unselfish goodness.... expecting nothing back.

"There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit." - Ronald Reagan.

Leave protein shakes and bananas for others at the gym. Clean the sink and toilet at gym and work. Rack the weights. Leave hockey tickets out. Make like Santa. It's about the small things.
