Stories of Kindness from Around the World

The Basis is Love


--by soumya.bhaskara, posted Jul 19, 2015
My friends and I are part of a service organization where we aim to unite adults and youth of all religions on the platforms of love, peace, truth, non-violence, and right-conduct. The service events are held on a monthly basis and we usually have to rent large rooms (there are occasionally free, but usually charge per hour). We had a major event in April with over 100 people and rented a beautiful hall in the city center (which is usually more expensive).

The event went great, and a few weeks later, I hadn't yet received an invoice from the community center. I sent them an email asking about the invoice, and their reply was, "We have decided not to charge you due to the wonderful work you all do." I was blown away! 

I have never in all these years witnessed that. It just reminded me of how kindness goes full circle and when you focus on the good in the world, the world brings out the goodness inherent in all. :)
