Jersey City man pays it forward for 30 days

[Hum]

It's a philosophy on how to make the world a better place ? and Jemmie Adams is one of its greatest ambassadors, reports NJ.com.

In a recent profile, Adams spoke about his 30-day campaign to do kind things for strangers. Over the past month, he's given away money to help pay for gas, gifted Valentine's Day flowers to residents of an emergency shelter for women and children, and provided subway fare for people trying to get home after a long day's work.

Adams explained to NJ.com's Barry Carter that he upped the number of people helped each day. On the first day of his experiment, he helped one person; the next day, two. And the stakes kept rising. On day 28, he kicked in $10 in gas money to 28 complete strangers. NJ.com has a complete list of his good deeds.

Adams told NJ.com, "When you show someone kindness, they can take that kindness and give it to someone else."

From NJ.com:

"Once you fully and truly understand that we are all connected, you can work on relationships and the harmony we have between each other,?? :happy: he said.

All told, Adams spread goodwill to more than 500 people, spending $1,500 of his own money.
