Less consumerism, less focus on things versus people? Less playing with our toys and more enjoyment of conversation with others? The more we engage with others the more comfortable we are at doing so, and the more skilled we become at the social graces, being more thoughtful versus hurried. <I><B>Laurie:</b> Let's hope this is the gift we'll receive from our unfortunate economic climate. We'd certainly be better off and much happier.

I also think most people are so caught up in their own little universe they forget to be courteous by default. Especially in the workplace, the day to day grind, same old same old, most people just want to get through their day and back home again (or somewhere else) where they would rather be. <I><B>Laurie:</b> That's true. Some people just "are" courteous and by being so are more inclined to do RAK, others don't notice it either way. Perhaps if we were more attuned to positive actions, by ourselves and others, we wouldn't see work as the same old grind. Thanks for visiting, Rowe; I'm glad you came by.</i> I agree with what you are saying, but I also think some people are more attuned with being courteous and/or performing random acts of kindness than others.
