Being kind to yourself and others is the very basis of all civilization on earth. In other words if someone helps you you help them when you can. Or if you sense the need to help someone let them help you too if they can in the future. In this way you can be mentored and you can mentor when you get ahead in life too. But, those who mentor you might need your help too at some point.
One of my Tibetan Buddhist teachers once said to me: "If an Ant is your Guru, Feed Him".
To me this can be applied to any teacher or person that helps you along the way. He or she doesn't have to be your ultimate guru just someone that has helped you in some way during your life.
Those that helped keep you alive you need to help keep them alive. It's very simple. It's what civilization is all about.
By God's Grace
