He mentions a few reasons why people are kind, but there is one he didn’t. Having lived life, we know what it is to hurt, and having experienced this, having felt it, we don’t want someone else to hurt. I think this is a big one.

I do think that kindness is powerful, not weak. Also, I think that sometimes, even without the reward of future help, status, happiness, or sense of satisfaction, we are kind simply to lessen the suffering of another. No accolades. And, ALL kindness is healing, reward or not.
