Practice Compassion……..

Hi all… Long time since I wrote anything   Reason…… I AM TOOOOOO BUSY…….

Friends sometimes I feel what  have I done for the growth and betterment of our society……. It always had been a dream for me that I should actively do something for our society… May be towards the betterment of downtrodden women, orphans, physically challenged and the like…… But frankly speaking it is not materializing….. I remember that in my school days few of my interested friends and I had been to ‘Manasa’.  Its a school for mentally challenged children.. We also found few grown ups there….  We spent our entire day with them… We taught them little bit of drawing.. Played games.. Distributed sweets…I just cannot explain you all  the happiness and contentment that I had.. When I recollect it I feel that yes I  have done something though very very small…..

Show compassion.. listen to  somebody who wants to speak up.. UNDERSTAND THE SILENCE……

Its not just me..Most of us aspire to do something honest.. something selfless..There are several factors which sometimes serve as a hurdle though…..
BUT THERE ARE MANY THINGS THOUGH NOT SUBSTANTIALLY BIG BUT WORTHY ENOUGH WHICH CAN MAKE US AND OTHERS FEEL HAPPY ….. I read few things from an article which I liked a lot…Very simple but worth following..

1.  HELP AN ELDERLY PERSON CROSS THE ROAD.

2. PLANT A TREE.

3. GIVE GUIDANCE TO A PERSON LOOKING FOR CERTAIN ADDRESS.

4. FEED BIRDS.. PUT SOME BIRD SEED AND WATER ON YOUR WINDOWSILL.

5. DONATE BLOOD.

6. GIVE OLD BUT REASONABLY GOOD CLOTHING’S TO SOME CHARITY.

7. DISTRIBUTE SWEETS TO CHILDREN OF A GOVT SCHOOL IN SOME REMOTE PLACE .

8. LEAVE  GENEROUS TIP FOR A WAITER AT A SMALL RESTAURANT.

9. SEND  NOTE OF SUPPORT TO, OR VISIT SOMEONE WHO’S GOING THROUGH A TOUGH TIME.

10. GIVE UP YOUR SEAT TO SOMEONE ELSE IN A TRAIN OR A BUS.

11. PAY A NEEDY CHILD’S FEES.

12. WRITE A LETTER OF PRAISE TO A PUBLIC SERVANT FOR DOING A  GOOD  JOB.

13. BE A GOOD LISTENER TO SOMEONE WHO NEEDS IT.

14. GIVE A LIFT TO SOMEONE.

This list seems endless.. but do try it out…… Its amazing…. even in our busy schedule there is always room for kindness and compassion….
