A Lil' better than usual

    The smallest things that you do, sometimes turn out to be the greatest need for someone else. It can be as simple as smiling at them. You could just make their day. You don't have to even know the person to smile at them. Maybe your eyes just met theirs as you strolled past. Instead of rolling your eyes away and pretending like not to have seen them, its better to smile at them. There is something more than money. Emotions. The love and care which really comes from deep down your heart. There is always this satisfaction which you can carry after a act of kindness or care.

    So now, "how do you differentiate kindness and care?"

    An act of kindness is an instantaneous action. Kindness is never about the person who is in need. It is about you. Do you have the heart to do it? Does it give a sense of satisfaction after you did it?. You may not get attention. You may not get any profit out of it. Worst case scenario, you may even be late to some place you were heading to. But, the question is. "Was it worth it? ". The feeling of satisfaction in your heart would answer that. That is the moment you realize your true value. How good a human you can be. It makes you proud. You would respect yourself more, and the feeling in your heart will give you the drive to do more.

    Care is something quite different. It is person specific. Friends. Family. Those are the people you really have a affection for. And it is mutual. When you like a person, you wouldn't want them to be in harm's way. You would try to help them with their problems in a different way. There is a lot more love involved in it. This is something which brings people closer to you. Of course there are people who can take advantage of it. But, sometimes you just cannot help yourself, because it is out of your character to not care about people who you think are close to you. Well, when you love everyone and are compassionate about all lives. Then everything you do is of love and care.

    That is the point which is common in them both. You do not expect anything in return. You just give yourself to the person and help them get out of the situation. These qualities are truly amazing. When you care about someone, you just get into the situation yourself and try to move the barrier with them. It is a rare quality. Not surprising at all, because it has the requirement of putting yourself after the person you care for.

    Moreover, it gives a more profound meaning to life than just living our life all for ourselves. It makes us understand it is not just about reaching that  digit salary. But, am not saying you should not. Well of course, when you have more, you can give more. That is something which we can keep in mind to motivate ourselves. It is amazing to see people do amazing things just out of care and compassion. It inspires us to do something at least at some small scale ad not just waste our lives.

    It maybe just a phone call to a friend whom you feel hasn't been normal or maybe it is an old couple looking to cross the busy streets. It may just make their lives a little bit more easier and your life a little bit more satisfying. The warm feeling of being there for someone or helping someone in need will always give a positive effect to you and the people around you. Let us not assume that only we face problems in life. Let us understand that everyone has their problem and try to be helping hand. You never know, the blessing could help you right back in any of your own problems. We could make new friends. Better of all, we can be a better human being,

    So, be the good friend whom your people can look up to. Be the good person whom the society inspires from. Be an amazing human being.

Cheers! Have a happy life!! :)
