Be kind for no reason
lets discusses this beautifully phrased phenomenal idea of act of kindness by following saying “practice random acts of kindness and selfless acts of beauty” by Anne Herbert . Now how to characterize kindness and why do we need kindness to breath on this land of injustice,violence,depression and selfishness.
It is not branded clothes ,expensive phones ,luxury house ,cars, bank balance and many other materialistic thing that characterize kindness but the number of people that you are making smile.That small curves on someone face are priceless and worth thousand times more than these materialistic things.
Some years ago when i was a teenager i started to reading about the most influential people on earth starting from the Holy Prophets (PBUH) to ordinary humans from Islam to Christianity, from Nelson Mandela to Quaid e Azam to the inspirational Edhi sb.I found one thing common in all the most inspirational and influential people ’ The kindness and love for mankind’ .Instantly a passion to serve the mankind popped into my heart.Every time i thought to do something that my heart was pushing me to do so but i always thought that i need resources to take initiatives.But, after the case study of edhi sb i come to know that to be kind you only need one thing that is purity of heart and thoughts.
kindness is not something you do for others but for yourself, for your peace of mind. An act of kindness is just a small but profound step to make this land a better place to live in.You don,t need money or to put some extra ordinary effort to show kindness and make people feel special , just need to develop a feeling of compassion ,gratitude,selflessness,sympathy,golden soul, empathy,courtesy.loyalty,romanticism,respect and lots of positivity.It’s okay if you are not appreciated every time because actually you are doing it for yourself not for others.
kindness is like a food of soul ,and fruit of spirit,and the essence of kindness is love.The act of kindness from my childhood which i can’t forget is providing shelter and food to new born puppies of dog when they were near to die due to heavy thunder storm.The happiness that i felt on that day was so peaceful,priceless and speechless.It was like as ifound a hidden treasure.
After that experience this turned this into a habit that at least one act of kindness each day to bring a chance in my life.Here is the small list of act of kindness of this week:
- Donated my old clothes and shoes to maid and give her money to get them repair rather than throwing as many people do in big cities.
- Cooked food for my roommate who was unable to cook due to her papers despite of my busy schedule.
- Try to keep peaceful environment in room to let my roommate study and sleep well during papers as she was sick during the papers.
- Called my angry friend and apologized for my mistakes in past.
- Remained silent when i was getting angry and my friend was irritating me during the pw.
