Doing Good As Mandated

Many of us like when acts of goodness are done to us but just like we like it, others like it too. Now the question is; how has your own act of kindness been shown to others? People will always remember you, not because of what you have as (in terms of material things) but how you have used your resources to help humanity. The basis of out humanity is embedded in our acts of goodness.

A lot of people do good to their friends. Yeah, that is very good but it should not stop at only your friends. Some others do good with the hopes to get some good in return. Now that is another form of business and not kindness. Your acts of good should not be limited but it should be extended to humanity at large. A point will come in your life when you will realise that your acts of kindness and goodness should come first before even being right.

When you are given two choices of either to be kind or for you to be right? What choice will you make? At this point, you will know that the occurrences of "kindness" may strongly negate the occurrence of "rightness" but at the very end, being kind will still be prefer over being right. This remind me of a particular quote a friend once said:

The moments that will matter much include: the moments of conquering a flaw, the moments of making sacrifices, the moments of saving a friend, then the moments of sparing an enemy

Most times we observe the first three but the last one which is "sparing an enemy" has become impossible for a lot. Just like you will love to enjoy mercy, your enemies will love mercy too. Just to remind you, you are also an enemy to many other people. Imagine if everyone that judges you as enemy demands judgement and justice from you, would you have made it this far?

You will agree with me that there is a level of happiness that is attained when you cause people to be happy by reason of your acts of goodness in their lives. When you do good to those that do not have what to pay you back with, that is the true act humanity and that is what posterity will remember you for. For each passing day, make it a point of duty to do at least an act of kindness to someone.

Believe me, if at the end of the day and no one said "thank you" to you, then you should ask yourself if you have been good for that day. Not because you need the "thank you" but as a way of reassuring yourself that the day is not wasted and you did good for the day. Your acts of goodness and kindness should be daily and not once in a while.

Thanks for reading
