In a world where you can be anything, be kind

In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

Kindness has an expansive definition. Each of your sense organs, play a vital role to exhibit this trait. Spreading a smile, lifting bag for your fellow passenger in a journey or offering a seat to the elderly or the one who requires it more than you do, justify the act of kindness. Charles Darwin recommended the hypothesis of "natural selection".  He implied that in a world where the environment is ever-changing, only the ones, who adapt to it, remain safe. Not with standing, this statement holds partially true for human beings. A human being may able to endure the drastic and harsh conditions of nature, but to survive as a social being he needs the support, encouragement and above all the love hidden behind kindness. With the ever-changing lifestyle and thanks to evolutionary mobile technology, not many people are sympathetic today. Ironically, people have more friends on Facebook and other social media rather than in reality. One may not even know who their neighbours are who live next door. The aspiring parents want their children to make a fruitful career, surprisingly fail to inculcate the most important aspect of human behaviour, which is kindness. Every individual has the right to follow his dream but he needs to practice the act of kindness in whatever field he aspires to gain fame and name. You may encounter a negative comment at your workplace and find your day ruined, however, you can make up your colleagues day by helping him to achieve the goal he is struggling for. Smile is said to be contagious. Similarly, kindness too can be contagious. Let’s develop a contagious cycle of positive energy. Being dumped by negative contemplations doesn’t mean spilling it onto others. Let your act of kindness create a positive emanation in the person you meet. One may not even remember your name, hardly someone noticed you while you helped a person with a disability to cross the road.  You will definitely spike a beam of hope and kindness. Kindness creates positive energy within you and thus it’s undeniable you pass it on to your family and friends. In the world of uncertainty, you can’t anticipate your child to show off gratitude while you are fussing about the minute’s shortcomings in your life. Remember, if you want to be a role model, first practice then preach. With new-year round the corner, how about we make a goal to shower generosity however much as could reasonably be expected.
