NO, I won’t be writing about LOVE!
Yesterday I received a link with the story of a man who was acting
aggressively in the Vancouver subway frightening all passengers, and the 70
year old woman who managed to calm him down by simply holding his hand. Full story here
Random acts of compassion happen all over the world on a
daily basis but we seldom hear about them in the news, can we share more of
these with the world?
I believe that there’s goodness in everyone, some people are
just too scared, confused and/or lonely to be able to see it and live it.
The ones that knew Gandhi say that he was a bit of a
womaniser, Mother Theresa was considered to be quite ruthless and bossy by the people
who worked with her, Nelson Mandela had a good few dubious friendships. You don’t
need to be perfect to change the world!
We are so used to the good deeds of people who inspired
us that we forget that they too had faults like all of us. Whether they were aware of them or not, they didn’t let these
faults define them, they focused on the purpose and went about to fight for their causes &
positively affect the world we live in.
One single weed doesn’t ruin a whole garden so please be kind
and compassionate with yourself and the ones around you!
