The Kindness Box

Give a sincere compliment. Many positive things tend to go unsaid. So give someone a sincere compliment today. It can mean especially much if it’s for something that is close to the other person’s heart. Or something he or she has been putting in a good effort with like getting into better shape for the last few months.

“If we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.”

An act of kindness is a spontaneous gesture of goodwill towards someone or something - our fellow humans, the animal kingdom, and the kingdom of nature. Kind words and deeds come from a state of benevolence, generated by a core response deep within all of us. When we carry out an act of kindness it is a message from one heart to another, an act of love, an unspoken "I care" statement.

While you may not realise it, you are performing many acts of kindness each day. Such things as smiling and greeting people in a friendly manner, whether they be friends, associates or total strangers. A kind act can be sincerely complimenting someone about their hair, eyes, smile, laugh, an item of clothing or jewellery, their positive outlook, their caring attitude, or something they do or have done well. It can be helping someone on or off with their coat, opening a door, saying please, thank you, excuse me, and other common courtesies that unfortunately are not very common these days. It can be giving your total attention to people when they are talking, it can be offering support to someone who has a problem, it can be helping to heal a rift. Or it can be not doing something. For example, refraining from such things as gossiping, finding fault, or making negative judgements.

We often hear about random acts of kindness toward strangers – the people in the street giving out free hugs, the driver who pays for your drive-through order, the angel who topped up your parking meter. But some of the most meaningful acts of kindness are non-random: listening to a friend who needs support, putting a note in your child’s lunchbox, cooking dinner for your spouse.

Altruism is responsible for some colourful and mysterious human behaviour and this book brings to mind a good number of examples. It begins with the story of Wesley Autrey, the father of two young girls, who risked his life on the New York subway to save a complete stranger. When he became a celebrity as a result, Autrey replied mildly ‘‘I saw the man and he needed help’’.
