Study: Doing good improves mood

Looking on my science websites and saw a review of a new study from the University of Louisville. The study showed that performing good, meaningful deeds made people feel better than performing self serving deeds.

Another thing we all intrinsically know, but nice to see our suspicions confirmed.

Yeah, there is something about helping someone and not expecting anything in return that makes you feel good. Well at least it makes me feel good.

I saw that too. It reminded me of what I saw on Oprah about "The Secret". If you think something good then you open yourself up for good. If you think something bad, then only bad will you receive. I was sceptical at first, but I did try the challenge and it was true. Giving to another will always be given back, mabe not on your own time, but on God's time. Giving to only yourself takes you nowhere....

I can't find anything on the internet about relationships with transgenders. Or what to expect...
