Stories of Kindness from Around the World

My First Mission As A Kindness Apprentice


--by altruist, posted Jan 30, 2017
I am a 22 year old guy who has a deep wish to serve the creation of super consciousness. I grew up with the same thoughts of kindness, my parents also inculcated it in me by not only saying but also showing how its done.

Before this Christmas, the cold was severe, it always pained me to see the poor and homeless on streets suffering in the cold--people with no socks, no proper clothing -  sitting on streets in the bone chilling cold.
I brought 10 pullovers and some biscuits and put all of them in a bag and left in search for more of such needy souls.

I wandered for miles..then I saw the first one. He was an old man sitting on a street with a dog in his lap. I didn't say a word and stood beside him, he looked at me and asked if I had something to eat. Well in my heart I was so ecstatic that now I can help a person all by myself.

I brought out the pullover and pack of biscuits and handed them over to him. He thanked me and smiled. I sat beside him and we had a short chat. I asked him all about his problems. Then I resumed my search for more homeless people to connect with.

I met many needy souls, and to tell you frankly I was even more happy than them as I got an opportunity to help the poor all by myself, no one telling me to do so. One thing I learnt from talking to all the souls I met is that they never complained about their state or how unfortunate they are or how bad the life is for them.  They all had the spirit of soldiers inside them, fighting against all odds without complaining and with a hope that someday all this will be over.

No one knows about it, not even my parents. I told this to none and I wish to continue my act of kindness with Anonymity in future also.
Love everyone as you love your own.
