I rather see it as a whole lifestyle, not an easy one as the world is pretty cold so the showers are also cold. Just have to put up with it, as a lifestyle is not a switch you can turn off and on at will when it suits you. That's how I feel about it, for what it's worth. It just seems like that we like to stick to the in between so we can switch sides wherever it suits us, instead of making a lifestyle change, but still it's a step in the right direction, practice makes perfect. Working your ass off and expecting nothing in return, or worse than that, but that's were it's at when you set others as a higher priority than yourself, it might even come off as foolish to some/many. “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” -Harold Whitman “A person can drop dead even while singing. But that's no reason to stop singing.” -Marty Rubin Courage is fear that has said its prayers. ~Dorothy Bernard |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 23766809 02/22/2013 04:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've already done mine. Held a door for a lady coming out the gas station and gave her a smile as I did it. Probably made her day!! Feels good to help others just as much. So what are you going to do today? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7736082 I'm sorry, but holding the door open for a lady is not a random act of kindness, it is a common courtesy. At least it's supposed to be. The other day I noticed a couple laboriously pushing their SUV down the road. All of the other motorists simply drove arround them. I pulled off the road into a parking lot and ran over and helped them push it to the gas station a block away. That is a random act of kindness. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 34832596 02/22/2013 05:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A random act of kindness per day, and then post about it, seems very self-absorbed and self-promoting. It should not be something to be "shown off", that you did something nice for another human, it should be something that is done throughout everyday, without thought.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7736082 This is the most bullshit concept I've heard in awhile. So many people are promoting it. How about this: just be kind all the time. Be nice to people, help them how you can, don't put them down, etc. |

I'm only complaining about the infrequency of it. Just be a kind and nice person, and spread that message. Making it infrequent and random is an excuse. The best teacher for the world is virtue, not "random acts" now and again. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7736082 I kept holding the door for people, not even getting a "thank you". So now when I hold the door and someone just walks past and says nothing I respond with a "YOU ARE WELCOME" draws a lot of attention, love doing it! It seems like you're doing good deeds for the wrong reason if you are looking for outward fulfillment to your actions instead of the 'inner peace' involved. Thanks for holding the door for people though! Good > Bad |

I haven't left my house today yet, but because of this thread I'm making it a goal to put smiles on people's faces. I totally agree with u. People DO need reminders. Thanks OP!! |
