BenevolenceA Poem by Onlyme
Kindness sparing a few coins to give to a
homeless person. Down on his luck sleeping on the streets bedraggled and dirty and depressed. Smiling at an old lady. As she passes by with a heavy load of shopping and asking her if she would like some help with her bags. Kind simple acts to show you care towards others around you. Who are not just blood-related. And you don't do it for a reward or a thank you either. You do it because you can basically. Most humans lack empathy, compassion, generosity, affection, warmth and caring towards others. Outwith they're own family membersI mean. And to me, that is so tragically sad and selfish. They just don't see the bigger picture of humanity and life. Just their small enclosed frame sized view of their very own. I certainly don't have much in life myself. But I share and care whenever I can towards others. It does not cost much or anything to be considerate, compassionate, loving and caring towards a fellow spirit on this planet. You could actually make someone's day better. Let alone put a big smile on souls face. And that individual I bet appreciated what you did for them big time. And you might have put them in a better frame of mind and a better outlook towards their life or day in general. And that means a lot. Doing unselfish acts. for others is more than worthwhile. Try it and see. You never know in life when you might need a helping hand or comfort from someone who is not related to you.
