To
tell you the truth, I think all human being should at least have kindness as
their standard of living. I always thought that being human, we need to be
kind. That is what probably every religion taught us. Thus I think everybody
else would exactly be kind.
Until..
Life
slaps me hard.
Being
kind ain’t that easy!
In
this pandemic, I learned that I took kindness for granted.
I
should have been grateful for everyone that still choosing kindness.
Let
me tell you a story.
On
a breezy Saturday evening last month, while I am on my bike.
6
PM. It started to get dark.
I
bought one mineral water from small shop far-far-far-away from my home. To get
there, it took one and half hour. Yes I know it’s late, next time I will only
go on the bike in the morning.
WHY
AM I doing this? I don’t know. Maybe I have extra energy to spend.
At
first, I don’t really get scared, since around Saturday night, couples usually
go out and the streets would be crowded.
But
then… I remember… to go back home I will pass by rubber plantation. It is even
darker, the street got no light, and the chance of criminal is higher
than in any places.
Anyway,
I still managed my fear and say to myself “everything will be fine”
DO
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED? It is not fine.
IT
IS SCARY!!!
And
when you think its scary, scary things occurred. I imagined things. OVERTHINK
IT IS.
It
is too painful to go through it alone, suddenly….. someone from the small shop
earlier come followed me using his motorcycle and said “Are you alone? I will
accompany you until the end of this street, REST ASSURE! I AM NOT SOME
CRIMINAL!!”
He
calmly says that. I believe what he says because he comes alone and I saw him
at the small shop and I got the look at his eyes, he is saying the truth!
I
am so grateful, and I could breathe easier.
I
don’t know who you are but thank you again for your kindness. I know it’s easy
to just ignore things. But you choose kindness.
Kindness
seems too overrated. Everyone is being kind. YOU KNOW WHAT? In fact, it is
underrated!
I
beg you, the one that read this, someone might really need your kindness, and that
story about kindness might change someone.
Do
you remember Joker? Yes, that person who constantly being hurt. We always say, “all
you need is a little push.”
HMMM..
Could you be the pull? Pulling everyone closer to be more kind?
If
you do that, I promise you, you always got my heart!
Again
and again. Thank you for your kindness.
