Super Random Acts of Simple Kindness

Saturday, December 24, 2005

With an "every man for himself" dogma in this super material world dominated by superficiality, super egos and selfishness, I remain optimistic. Yes, I would still like to believe in the existence of simple random acts of kindness whether from people known or unknown, close or distant to me. Often it comes when we least expect it. It comes in the disguise of a small gesture. It certainly is possible to give or help expecting nothing in return and not having to offer any explanation, reason or justification. It's not really about my being too much of an idealist. Rather, it's believing in the potential good that we all innately possess - which, for some of us, may have just been misplaced or lost. I believe that there is such a thing as giving or helping freely simply because we want to - nothing more, nothing less. More than the big and extravagant things, it's those simple random acts of kindess that make us feel good all over and doesn't it make you just want to pay that super good feeling forward for others to experience as well?
