Do you ever notice that when most people do things, they only do it because they're getting something out of it? What happened to doing something for someone because it was a kind thing to do? What happened to selflessness and compassion these days? Say you saw a man who is sitting under a bridge with only a torn, thin jacket, and old worn out shoes to keep him warm. You notice he has nothing to eat. What would you do? Would you just walk away? Or, would you walk over and give him your jacket and offer to buy him something to eat?
What people don't realize is that when you do even the smallest thing to help someone, it can make a big difference. Not only that, but can mean the world to somebody. It could even change their life. Don't just do something because it will benefit you. Do something, because you know it's the right thing to do. "Love is our weapon". It is the one thing that can destroy selfishness and overcome hate. Should anyone do a kind act for you, don't only turn around and pay it back, find someone else, and show a bit of kindness to them as well. When you read this entry, send the same message that I send to you: "Pay it forward".
