What do you think would happen? If we all carried out ONE random act of kindness a day, with no expectation of reward? - My answer in Linked In

This is a great concept and the responses surely prove it.

My question is - why only "ONE" act of kindness and that too "random" in a day. If you are inclined so, what aren’t you a kind person throughout the day? Or, does the way you work or live do not allow you to be kind? Therefore, you need to look for this window where you would be "kind" and then be pleased about it.

The terrorist who killed a Jew Rabbi and his wife together on 26/11 in Mumbai was also helping his fellow terrorist mate with medicines and water since the latter was injured. Was he a kind man?

Would you think that kindness is a character trait? The other question I would like to ask is “Do you care?”

Kindness as a concept to me is not about boosting one’s self ego. It is not another job to be done. It’s how you orient your mind brain and heart so that you have positive feelings towards other human beings, animals, plants, environments, beliefs, race…etc etc.

Now somebody will surely argue that as human beings we have different thought strains for different situations. Yes we surely do, and I am not a specialist in that subject. But given your environment and culture one would expect that you demonstrate kindness “all” the time.

In perspective, say you are being reprimanded by your boss for a misdeed, it’s nothing to do with whether he was kind or not. Again, surely I appreciate the fact that you donate that change in the shop to some charitable organization; but for you that’s not the end.

I hope I am not being complicated in my thoughts. If yes, please be kind to me!! Also, my first statement is perhaps a bit divergent from the rest of the words that I have put together. I needed to be kind after all!!

In the meantime, let’s all be kind and please carry on with your promises to yourself on being kind!! I am on your side, without a doubt!!
