You will have many opportunities in life to help those who can
never repay you in some way, but compassion has a greater reward
than any payback ever could…
I often marvel at how the holiday season seems to bring out a
level of kindness that never seems to be as intense or
consistent in the earlier parts of the year? Why does society
seem to ramp up its receptive nature to perform these random
acts of kindness at such a limited window when compared to the
entire year as a whole?
Think about the last time you did something nice for someone.
Did you expect, or receive, something in return? While there is
nothing negative about being paid back or about receiving some
other form of appreciation, there is a special way of kindness
that is much better.
When you show kindness to someone who cannot give nor do
anything for you in return, you are expressing a wonderful kind
of compassion. It is doing something for a fellow human being,
without any expectations. There are no strings attached to
compassion, nor are there any conditions. This makes compassion
the purest form of kindness that exists.
If you consider all the people who are in your daily life, you
will see that you have many opportunities to show kindness every
day. There are also many people whom you do not see very often,
and even strangers. Each and every person in the world needs,
deserves, and appreciates kindness. You will not need to look
very far to find plenty of them every day.
When you show that you are a compassionate individual by
extending kindness, you will deepen your respect for yourself.
Other people will soon learn to respect you as well. The reason
for this is that expressing kindness shows that you are a person
who cares about others.
In today’s world, especially, there is a great need for kindness
and compassion. Many people feel empty and alone. It is not hard
to find many situations to show family members, friends and even
strangers that each one does count. You may not have considered
it this way before. The simple fact remains that whenever you
show kindness to a person, you are letting him know that he
matters.
Even the smallest act of kindness can truly make a difference in
a person’s life. When it is sincere and unconditional, you may
even be helping him to believe in himself. The tiniest act of
kindness can be a blessing that he will always remember. You
have the gift to make such an impact in a person’s life!
