12 Random Acts Of Kindness That You Must Practice
The phrase, ‘random act of kindness’ was coined by Anne Herbert who (it is believed) wrote ‘practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty’ on a mat in a restaurant. This phrase ‘random act of kindness’ brought some change in the world where humanity was almost on the verge of extinction. If you feel from the bottom of your heart that you must practice these words, then we must compliment you for your virtuous thoughts. Being kind is a virtue in the true sense of the term. It is good to make someone feel nice and pleased. There are a number of ways to show your kindness to people. We’ve mentioned 12 such random acts of kindness that are extremely easy to follow. Here they are.
1. Help your partner
Help your partner with household chores. There are many things you can find at home to help your partner with such as folding clothes, washing utensils, cooking etc.
2. Help your neighbor
This is a good way to start with, especially if you have a senior citizen as your next door neighbor. They will be happy to get some help.
3. Help the blind
Go to the nearest blind school and read out books to the kids there or become a writer for them.
4. Be a helpful passenger
If there is a senior citizen, a pregnant lady or a lady carrying a small baby with huge bags trying to get in to or get off the bus, you can help them by holding the bags for them. You can also offer them your seat. They’ll bless you for your courtesy.
5. Share your food
Share your food with hungry, poor kids. Encourage your child to befriend a poor child and invite the kid over for a party and other occasions at your place. There’s no greater pleasure than sharing food.
6. Donate your clothes
Is your cupboard full of old clothes and blankets? It is time you give them away to the needy. Find a home for poor in your area and give them reasons to cheer.
7. Participate in a book donation drive
You can donate your school and graduation books to public libraries nearby or give them to the needy.
8. Offer free tuition
If you are good at teaching, then invest your after-office hours and weekends in tutoring the poor kids. You can also train them to use computers and make them computer literate.
9. Organize a green drive
Organize a green drive in your area and encourage everyone to plant saplings and spread awareness about the conservation of environment. Convince others to opt for eco-friendly products.
10. Partake in a clean-up act
Participate in a clean-up act organized by your community. If possible, you yourself organize a clean-up drive and ask others to join you in your initiative.
11. Pass it on
Never expect something in return when you help someone. If they offer something, politely refuse and say ‘Pass it on’. Help everyone spread the goodwill by asking others to practice random acts of kindness.
