So I went to a friend's place for hotpot today. I tried to be helpful (not because I wanted to have something to write about..I actually almost forgot about being kind/blogging about it..ALMOST, haha). I did it because I felt bad that my friend's mom had to clean and set up all the food by herself =/. So I asked her if she needed help and she had me set up two sets of chopsticks in front of every seat that was around the table. She thanked me afterwards but I honestly felt like I had done nothing at all...
That's the closest I've gotten to an act of kindness since the start of the new year. Sad, I know.
I did try to give up my seat for a lady that was pushing a baby carriage on the train today but she denied my offer so that doesn't really count.
This is a lot harder than I thought it would be because this is not about just completing "a good deed" (as my other bloggers have pointed out) but it's about actually doing it out of the kindness of my heart. I'm beginning to realize that being kind from the heart is so much more different than just acting kind. Gee..what have I gotten myself into?! Hahaha, kidding. But I do hope this will help my heart to be kinder as the year goes along.
'til next time.
