Kindness it is that brings forth kindness always.

Sophocles

Doing a kindness to a certain individual may not find kindness being returned from that individual. You know there are people in the world that will be grumpy or mean no matter what. But I have to believe that in a pay-it-forward sort of way, that kindness will be brought back into your life.

And even if you are not the recipient of the kindness that is brought forth by the kindness you did, perhaps someone else will be.

I think that when it comes right down to it, would I rather be mean or show kindness? If I help out someone else, meaning I am showing kindness, then it will make me feel good knowing I have done so. That is a kindness to myself.

So who cares how the other person responds? Maybe someone else will reap the benefit elsewhen. I, however, reap an immediate effect in how I feel. And anything that makes me feel good in a positive way is a very good thing for it can brighten my whole day.
