All over the world today we are aware of alarming situations, including terrorist bombings, racial gang wars and natural disasters. By our thoughts and actions as ordinary citizens, let us remind ourselves that we have an impact on what is happening around us. We can make this be felt by practicing little acts of kindness in our daily lives.

Kindness is among the gifts we can easily spread to others. We can start with our family and friends, and eventually extend it to our office mates. We can also show kindness to strangers who need help along the way. Our next door neighbour may get sick and need us to go to a drugstore, a brother or sister may need urgently our presence or financial assistance, or an elderly person down the street may need the lawn mowed.

Lessons from Life: Contentedness Comes from A Kind Heart - good reminder about the well-known fact: money will not bring happiness to a man.

A materialistic life brings us only brief happiness, but a kind heart will give us a happy life. Not everyone understands that the value of life lies not in taking, but in giving. In one’s life, fame, self-interest and wealth are external and one can never be fully satisfied even if one pursues them at all times. Kindness is internal wealth. It is like a ray of sunshine that brightens our world and people around us. Kindness is true love, affection and the beautiful feeling for the mankind. Kindness will give us a wonderful life. Kindness is like water. It nourishes a dry and thirsty heart. A kindhearted man does not treat everyone like an enemy. A kindhearted person is bound to be contented. He will not be bothered or manipulated by all kinds of troubles and conflicts. True joy and happiness reside in his heart.
