"What the world needs now, is love sweet love, its the only thing that theres jus too little of". That was a quote from a song some time back. Amazing that it is just as relevant now as it was a few years back. Tht picture that you see above is a women holding a cardboard with the word 'Free Hugs' written in Polish.
What struck me was how we just need acts of kindness and maybe a hug or two to really brighten up those melancholic days. I was on the way for the class party when lo and behold, the phone's battery went dead and I needed to contact the others! So I was in a state of peril. What should I do? I mean who would lend their phone to a total stranger and let him place a call? Well, I decided to try the train contoller and asked for him help. He had not only lent me the battery for my phone, but even offered to charge my phone!
Such an minute act has a great impact on the lives of the people around you. Wether you know it or not, your kindness goes a long way. No this is not a publicity for the courtesy campaign or a belated advertisment for the '4 million smiles' saga. I feel that these acts of kindness really make one's day.
Moving on, what we need to do is be like the lady in the picture. Lets spread the love around. Its the only thing that we do not get poorer from giving more. Life is way too short to remain resentful all the time. What we need to do is to spread the love and joy. As the holiday season draws nearer, let us mean it when we say that this is a season of giving. Let us mean it when we say 'merry christmas' let us mean it when we say 'ol lang syne' (forgive the spelling). Lets stop the hate. Lets stop being selfish bastards and become the society that we are hyped up to be.
