Saw an elderly Auntie at Mcdonalds asking around for someone to buy
her a cup of green tea but was rejected a few times. She looked kind of
embarrassed that no one was buying her a drink so I decided to approach
her and do the honor. Though the green tea ($3.50) costs more than my
fillet-O-fish burger ($2.50), the more important thing is that it made
the Auntie happy. When you have the ability to make a person happy, you
will be happy as well, especially when you see that the person is so thankful to you.
Maybe this action alone is not going to change the world, but at least
it creates some positive energy, it creates happiness and when I share
this experience, maybe it will inspire you to do likewise when you are
in a similar situation. If everyone starts giving a little more love and
kindness, it will definitely make our society a better place to live
in.
We are all surrounded by so much negative energy, e.g.
stress from studies, workload, financial burden, rising cost of living,
news of gloomy economy...etc. All these negative energy inside us will
not disappear by themselves, they transform to frustration and anger,
and it only takes a spark to ignite a big outburst. We need kindness, we
need to give kindness, because only then can we diffuse the negative
energy and live happier lives.
