A lot of studies have shown that kind people will have longer and more meaningful lives.

When helping others, you may experience a ‘‘helper’s high’’, a happy feeling born out of your heart. You can get more satisfaction from greater life because of helping others; that means you will be pleased with yourself.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia, Canada, found that helping others could improve one’s physical health. In the Washington Post, Ashley, one of the researchers, wrote that their experiment(实验) has shown helping others can help lower the blood pressure of the old people.

The findings may interest many people but they may have also noticed that society nowadays is filled with mistrust. More often than that, helping others is met with suspicion(猜疑). People may even refuse to accept your kindness.

The good news is, though helping others sometimes may seem unnatural, there is evidence(证据) that it can really make you a better person. And you can make your own decision whether to help others or not.

All in all, if we try to get into the habit of being kind, then at last, we will be used to helping others.
