When i walk down the halls and someone carrying a heavy pile of books loses balance and right in front of me, i go ahead and help pick the books.

When I open the door I look behind and hold the door for someone even if they are a few steps behind me whenever I can.

I give my seat up when someone who requires priority appears on a bus.

When I encounter that awkward moment when someone else and I grab for the same thing, I let the other person go first.

When im waiting for the elevator with a couple of other people, i let them go in first when the lift arrives.

These are just tiny things that give me joy doing, because after a really long and bad day when a stranger does something like this for you, you feel a tad bit better and the day seems a tad bit less deary.

And well, the circle of life or ” karma” gave me return gift. I had a pretty bad day yesterday and while I went for the tray at the caf someone else reached for it as well. I said sorry and moved away but then he said “oh no no, you go ahead ! ” with a bright smile and i dont know why but that hit me. Maybe its because i don’t get such treats everyday and after that shitty day, that little bit of kindness made me warm again 🙂

I had also happened to be pretty ill so I couldn’t meet a friend to help him with his homework. Want to know what he did instead of cribbing ? he came over and tucked me in bed like my mom would when i was ill back home. Sweetness 🙂

Its these tiny things that instilled my faith in performing acts of common courtesy. Thank you for that 🙂 And please don’t stop doing them, because in this community we live in right now, a little kindness goes long way to help others feel better !
