thinkin about it

Urban Life, no words to describe it. Full of hectic pace, people rushing by, cars whizzing past, there is no time for people to be people. You find extremes - people rushing past an accident victim and people rushing to help them. Strangers, that's what we are. To ourselves. To others. At times, strangers to our own kith and kin. But would you trust a stranger? Read the article. It was an eye-opener. I have always been fascinated by the phrase "Random Acts of Kindness". I don't remember where I first heard or saw it. A search revealed quite a few interesting links. Here is a short summary:

Kindness Defined and or Explained by Chuck Wall, Ph.D. An act that positively influences the life of both the giver and the receiver is a kindness. It doesn't have to cost money or be difficult to perform. It can be spontaneous (random) or premeditated. It can be as simple as a smile or a thank you, and as complicated as starting a non-profit organization to benefit those in need. Kindness has four working parts: dignity, respect, compassion, and humility, If you have all of these things for yourself, then you will be able to share them with others. If we reach out with dignity, respect, compassion, and humility, we are likely to feel it being returned. Actively seeking out opportunities to assist others will naturally bring a certain amount of warmth and feeling of self-worth to each of us. It feels good to help others and others feel good knowing someone wants them to help. "Consideration" and "helpful" are words often used to describe a kind deed. Kindness is what you define it as, rather than what someone else thinks you should believe it is. I suggest all people actively attempt to live by my phrase, "Today I will commit one random act of senseless kindness. Will You?"

Get ready to commit one random act of kindess. But before that, take a moment to read the rules of cricket. I'm still listening to "She". still searching for answers...
