Being kind doesn't ensure, that the other person will be nice (or kind) to you back, or warrant that they should be.
There is nothing to be gained by being kind, as being helpful and pleasant to others, doesn't give you anything back most of the time.
You shouldn't do kind things because of you want something in return, you should do them because they are the right thing to do.
With that said, the only benefits for being kind, is the selfless benefit for other people.
Being kind only benefits others.
It is up to you, to decide whether you want to be kind or not. Nobody is going to force you to make a choice.
Personally, my benefit of being kind, is that I can walk away happy knowing I've made the world a better place.
