LET’S BE HUMAN TOGETHER

Living in the world is becoming increasingly difficult. Hence, it is important for us to act with humanity. No matter how chaotic the world may seem, we have the power to freely treat ourselves and those around us with kindness and decency. Since we are also human, helping others should come natural to us.

Sadly, human vices have gained control of our lives, and the majority of us are anything but moral. In the world we live in today, being human will cost us little to nothing. Simple acts of kindness, such as smiling and saying hello to people, offering in kind or financially, lending a hand to someone in need, listening to them, and many other simple acts, cost nothing but will create much for the receivers.

A famous quote by William Arthur Ward says, “A warm smile is a universal language that everybody understands”. Being human may be seen in the little things we do, such as greeting someone with a smile, assisting someone in need, and expressing gratitude for anything and everything they have done for us.

More so, just one kind phrase has the power to completely brighten someone's day. Every person on earth strives for happiness, yet many fail to realize they have the power to create that happy life for themselves and others around them by simple random acts of kindness.

Below are some kindness hacks (as posted by Jennifer Taylor):

·????????Giving an unexpected compliment.

·????????Give someone (especially the elderly or pregnant woman) your seat on a crowded bus

·????????Say words of encouragement to a parent who’s struggling with rambunctious kids in a restaurant or grocery store.

·????????Pick up a piece of litter on the street and drop it in a waste bin.

·????????Write a 'thank you' note to appreciate someone who has been kind to you.

·????????Smile at someone who looks sad.

·????????Donate your old belongings(glasses, clothes, blankets, shoes)?you no longer need or use.

·????????Share your knowledge freely.

·????????Mentor someone

·????????Forgive someone who has wronged you.

Don’t forget yourself! Schedule a pedicure or massage, spend a few hours reading a great book or make time for another activity you love. Being kind to yourself will give you the energy and strength to be kind to others! Remember, you can’t give what you don’t have; be kind to yourself too. Kindness is a gift that keeps on giving. Sprinkle a few of these ideas into your weekly routine, and you’ll be spreading positive energy with a chain of love.?

All that someone out there really wants is a simple act of kindness, or even more than that. It can mend a broken heart or calm a worried mind. Life is so beautiful and it’s up to us to make the world a better place. Life is hard already, we shouldn't make it harder than it is. We don't need to wait until life is no longer difficult before deciding to change the world for the better. Together, as humans, we can heal the world by performing acts of kindness. Everything begins with each and every small deed of compassion and kindness shown to our fellow humans. Being of service to others seems to give life more meaning.
