Welcome to the blog with an appetite for good deeds.

Personally, I’m tired hearing teenagers rant about all their problems. So the last question on the math test was totally unfair. So what? It’s not the sign of the apocalypse, it’s one math problem. Don’t get me wrong- I can unecessarily freak out with the best of them. It just doesn’t make me feel any better.

They say doing good deeds makes you feel better about yourself. I’m hoping there’s a transitive property of kindness: if I catch someone being nice to someone else, that makes me nice, yes? Probably not. But seeing others do something selfless is insipiring. That’s my goal here. I want to inspire you to do good deeds; I want to inspire myself.

Because doing a good deed means doing something without trying to gain benefits, I will have to catch people in the act.

When you least suspect it, a 5’2″ nosy blogger could jump out of nowhere and ask you why you were just kind to someone for no reason. That’s right. You could be the subject of the next Slice of Nice post.

If you are a victim of niceness, shoot me an email at samanthaschwartz@sunflower.com. I’d like to hear your side of the story, and then I’ll hunt down the perp.
