“A little thought and a little kindness are often
worth more than a great deal of money.” John Ruskin
What price can
be placed on acts of kindness? When a kindness is done for another, very often
a simple act is priceless. What price is paid in return…a smile, handshake, a
hug, a thank-you note? Again, some things you can’t put a price on.
Kindness is
not a state of mind. It is a state of being. You can ‘think’ a kindness, but it
only becomes a ‘state of being’ when you act upon it. It reflects your thought,
behavior, demeanor and charitable act towards another. It’s complex. It’s not
just a single act but a series of steps and actions until the kindness is
completed towards another. It does not
demand reciprocity.
Kindness is
the complete giving of one’s self. It is also universal as it is a virtue
recognized around the world. Given this, you would think there would be more of
it. If you agree, try ‘being’ in a state of kindness more often. The world will
welcome it.
