A simple act of kindness can bring a smile to a sad face, shine a ray of happiness to a hopeless person and joy to one’s miserable life even if it is just for a little while. For kindness, all you need to have is a good, loving, caring and tender heart. It does not require you to be rich to do something good but being considerate enough for other person’s contentment, which indirectly leaves a positive impact on your own self as well. There are plenty of things one can do in daily life that can be counted in the acts of kindness. Following are my last 24 hour’s doings.
My friends came home early morning to my place for combine studies. Since we have been continuously working on our university’s projects, my friends and I became tired after our final submission early morning. To appreciate their effort and hard work in our group projects, I bought breakfast for them, which we enjoyed together and celebrated the completion.
Being Eid ul Adha season, we also went to buy cow for the obligatory sacrifice to be performed on Eid. We had to look for hours for the desired animal, which we found after hours of searching through the animal market. After a long negotiation about prices, we paid the decided amount and looking forward to head home. When we were about to leave I saw the seller’s kids eating leftover bread sitting on the floor, right there. And then I couldn’t stop myself but to go pay them some extra cash and told them to buy proper meal and enjoy.
I was doing grocery when I passed by this Suzuki, which was about to unload the cow. Being on the busy road, the driver faced difficulty in as to what direction to park better. So I stopped and guided him through. This not only helped the driver in parking but also contributed for the cow to comfortably come out of the carriage.
My mom’s been the one cooking for us. However, at times, I make something special for my family. For instance, this bowl of custard was made by me just to enjoy some dessert in the evening. Everyone loved it and emptied the bowl quickly. Also, they requested to make this again some time soon.
My friends keep coming to my place or I at times go to theirs to either study, do group work or meet-up and get-togethers. Today when my friend came I found his bike dirty with the muddy stains and splashes of water all over. Since he was tired and napping upstairs in my room, I cleaned the marks and washed his bike to a shiny and spotless look.
In a nutshell, it doesn’t take too much to be good and kind. You only have to be willing and have gentle heart for others good. As a mere act of kindness can bring hope to anyone’s life. Therefore, we should keep on doing these little things.
