Whatever being generous means to you, keep doing it, because a survey by The Ascent reveals a positive correlation between generosity and happiness. To find out how acts of selflessness affect a person’s overall sense of happiness and life satisfaction, The Ascent, an online financial product review site, asked more than 1,000 U.S. adults to do two separate things. First, participants answered questions about how satisfied they were with different aspects of their life, such as friendships, family life, social life, finances, and their career. Second, each respondent was tasked with filling out the Adapted Self-Report Altruism Scale, on which they rank how likely they are, on a scale of zero (never) to four (very often), to carry out 14 different altruistic behaviors (think: donating clothing to charity or giving directions to a stranger). Those who scored above the 75th percentile were labeled the high-generosity group, and those who scored below the 25th percentile, the low-generosity group.

Pandemic of love

The #pandemicoflove is a mutual aid community of care movement started in response to the COVID-19 epidemic. It humbly began on March 14th, 2020 by one person and was intended to help her own local community. But, like an epidemic, the act of love and kindness spread quickly and is now a beautiful movement helping those in need throughout the world.

What is a mutual aid community? It connects people in need with patrons who can help with that need. This is a tangible way for people to give to each other, quickly, discretely and directly.

What’s the catch? There is none. Kind people are introduced to kind people which results in an act of kindness and human connection.

Pandemic of Love

All the best!

Practicing Love in a Pandemic -

The novel coronavirus outbreak has left me feeling afraid and helpless. I’ve lost sleep, worrying and wondering about what might happen to me and my family if we contract Covid-19. If we don’t, what can we do to help the situation? Volunteering to help sick people isn’t possible, and donating money won’t slow the spread of the virus.

I have always believed that kindness is the truest measure of beauty. And I need only think of my grandmother to confirm that this is true. Giving, nurturing, understanding—she was all these things till the day she died, undeniably radiant, at the age of eighty-four. She smiled with her eyes and loved out loud, and that’s who I want to be.

Members of the World Kindness Movement are working on a plan to connect young people at school with their peers in other countries. The idea is to exchange stories and suggestions related to kindness, via e-mail. Another aspect is to discuss how kindness can be used to the best advantage in dealing with the problems that are facing young people today all around the world. It is felt that young people are eminently suitable in devising solutions for such problems.

“When you take the high road you will see things that some people can't.” - Shannon L. Alder-

“When you know someone close to you who are quiet or smaller or missing, seek them out, they may need to be found again. It is most beautiful to turn off our ego and feel true empathy for others. Compassion, sympathy, kindness, empathy, selflessness, etc. are the biggest signs of a person with a good soul and a big heart!” - Angie Karan-
