Random acts of Kindness

So you're walking down the street and some random stranger taps your shoulder and tells you that your one of the most good looking people they had ever seen.

Wouldn't that just about make your day?

I'm sure it would make mine if someone would say that even though I'd deny it, it's still nice to hear compliments from a complete stranger.

Wouldn't the world be such a better place if everyone was just more honest and more kind to everyone else?

When you're in a train station and you see someone you don't know wearing a nice shirt, you'd say to yourself "what a nice shirt" or you'd tell your friends how much you like it.

What do your friends care? They'd forget about it 10 seconds after you said it.

If you keep it to yourself, you'll most likely forget as well.

But if you told that stranger how much you liked their shirt, they wouldn't forget.

It would make them smile the whole train ride. A compliment goes a long way.

For all you know, this person was having a bad day, and he'd think that you were that angel that made it all better.

For all you know, he could have been planning to commit suicide that night,

you could be responsible for his life being spared just because of such a teensy weensy compliment. Why don't we do that?

Is it because of what has been taught to us since we were young?

"Don't talk to strangers?"

I assure you, the people we actually know and keep close are those who are more of a danger to us.

Spread the love,

turn that random stranger's day upside down, make their day.

And you'll see, it would be worth it when you see them smile. :-)
