spontaneous not random acts of kindness

Go ahead, perform acts of kindness, but not randomly. Acts of kindness should be motivated. Help an unknown person not out of obligation to the "randomness edict" but out of compassion and sympathy for flawed humanity. Let your "light" shine before men always, but do this in full conscious awareness. Aim to do the most good to the most drastic need. Unthinking, unfeeling, randomized behavior is beneath the dignity of our responsibility to represent God on Earth.

The virtuous person spontaneously gives to everyone around him or her from a bottomless divine supply, but do not compare these gifts to a die roll.
