Why be Kind?

It appears to be counter intuitive to extend kindness selflessly, as selfishness, or at least pursuit of self interest is seen as rational. So why be kind?

karma, even if you don't believe in it in the spiritual sense..what you put out does in fact come back to you.

hi Kuronekko ·
Well does it? I mean you could say that was a truism and plenty of rich people look very happy with their often ill gotten gains. Lots of unpunished criminals.
A critical mass of adherents to the principals of Khama - amongst which is punishment for those who do not partake - is required for Karma as a social mechanism to work. Unless of course you practice it a spiritual level in which case it is a matter of faith and personal belief and determined action.
Best wishes
