A Simple Act of Kindness Won’t Do Any Harm

 

“Acts of Kindness:

A random act of kindness, no matter how small, can make a tremendous impact on someone else’s life.”

― Roy T. Bennett

 

In mid-afternoon, I was on my way to the office I used to go to work by train and it was a somewhat hottest day, with even the wind coming on my seemed like flames of fire. My body was all hot, everybody around me was frustrated because of the heat and I had thanked myself that I had carried a bottle of water with me.

 

The train had stopped at the station and as it started to move, I saw a lady get on and walking towards me finding a seat for herself. She was breathing heavily, sweat covered over he forehead, her hands were kind of shaking, maybe because she had come running to catch the train. She finally found a seat for herself in front of me and sat.

 

Without giving a second thought I asked her if she would like some water. She had her head down and said “Please”.

 

I gave her and when she drank enough water that could fill her energy up while returning it she thanked me from the bottom of her heart and I could just feel it with her broad smile.

 

I was so glad that only by giving her a small thing she was happy and all way to go.

 

Helping people which drives me more to help the others around me or others in the world. My kindness towards other people either made me the happiest being or ruined me as being too kind of a person.

 

I had helped others around with small things, some were grateful and some were actually cruel to reject me or brush it off which hurt me.

 

I always wondered,” Why aren’t they accepting the things which are most important to them and want something else?”

 

Because I once bought a bottle of water for a beggar, ran behind him to give him and he said “Give me money or go away” even when I said water is what he needs the most right now.

 

I am talking about the beggar experience because I have heard and talked to people saying “Why should we help people or people on the street who just make us go away? Why help when cruelty is all we get?”

 

We all have been there when we offer something and gets rejected, we lose heart to offer something else. Just because we don’t want to get hurt.

 

I have experienced this and you might have too who have tried helping.

 

But no, right now what people around you, the society, or the world needs is kindness more than anything. With all the things going on around the world, more violence, more hate, people being heart-broken, people getting bullied, people experiencing traumas or even a dog by the side of the street whimpering to get him food needs kindness from us people who feel their hearts, who feel the need to help but always end up thinking, “Do they need our help?” or we simply seem to ignore.

 

You know you don’t have to act on the big thing, even small things matter.

 

SMALL THINGS MATTER THE MOST.

 

See an old lady trying to cross the road in traffic, help her.

 

See a woman sitting by the side of the road, give her water.

 

See a person lose her keys or money, help them.

 

Even if you’re going to school, college or to work, just giving 5 minutes of your time to help, trust me, you’ll be doing a lot for them in need.

 

Think like this, you have a big jar for money, for your collections, then keep a jar for an act of kindness. You know how this jar will help you?

 

Before dying you would have done a lot of good deeds and gained smiles of people which would truly help you feel grateful for what you have done in your life. Because while dying material things don’t matter, love from our people and helping other people matters the most.

.
Doing a lot of good deeds without expecting anything from the world, is a true act of kindness.
