“When you showed somebody kindness or helped somebody out in any way, it was really its own reward.”
— Louis C.K.
Simplified Meaning:
When you do something nice for someone or give them a helping hand, the good feeling you get inside is like a special gift all by itself. Think about when you open a door for someone carrying heavy bags. Their smile or thank you makes you feel happy and warm inside. You don’t need anything else in return because knowing you made someone’s day easier is enough. A story to illustrate this is of a man who found a lost puppy and returned it to its owner. The owner was so grateful, but more than that, the man felt amazing knowing he did something kind. His reward was the happiness and satisfaction in his heart. So, by helping others, you actually end up feeling good about yourself, which is a great reward.
