Help in Silence

Published by

on

Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.

Even a little gesture of help can be very meaningful to someone. Like helping carry an old lady or man their carrier bag, or helping them cross the street.

I believe that if every one of us were more empathetic and attentive, especially to people in need, this world would be much happier.

Well, actually, I don’t like this kind of question. Why?  Because my general attitude is that if you do an act of kindness, big or small, it’s better not to talk about it, otherwise it loses its character of kindness. It becomes an act of boasting about something to feel better. You help others better in silence, so they can preserve their pride.

So, my description of my act of kindness will be short. My act of kindness is not just random; I help my father’s sister, who lives in a nursing home, by taking over all the bureaucratic paperwork and her other required daily needs.

    Yes exactly, do, don’t show…those who take photos while helping a beggar are not doing it out of empathy, but to earn recognition themselves and all the more selfish reasons….

    Showing off your kindness makes it lose the character of kindness…my parents say that too ❀️🌸
