ACTS OF KINDNESS and LIFTING OTHERS
Acts of kindness and lifting others requires some humility, you don’t do them and then post them on social media. Talking about them feeds the ego.
Acts of kindness can be all sorts of things whether it be you help someone or people on Steemit or the little old lady cross the road or put yourself out in any way for people you do or don’t know.
They are not something you usually think about after doing them as they are part of who you are as a person thus not needing validation.
If a person must think about lifting others as task or something they need to remember to do they have already failed.
Our words are the channel for our energy but not the focus of what we already carry within ouselves. For this reason, words are not always required because it is just part of our being thus one’s presence can be enough to lift another.
Humility requires one to not talk about acts of kindness or lifting others, but rather to just be the person that does it by the strength of their existence, not their words.
Once a person talks about the deed of kindness they did, it ruins it because what is the purpose of being kind if only to constantly remind that person that you have done them kindness.
Be like a passing shadow that helps. People will know its you, because to them it will make logical sense. When being anonymous about really has that extra happiness to it. Because you did something good and no one knew about it except you and maybe that person you helped.
But you will be known as that person, and things will turn out well because kindness is contagious. If done with no malicious intentions behind it.
Its absurd how people just walk past someone lying on the ground and no one checks to see if they are dead or alive or need help.
If it is an accident or someone is hurt people are too scared to get involved. I have been in these situations myself where the person who helped me with someone I was helping was a person with a medical background like myself.
I'm not sure these are necessarily acts of kindness though as more instinct. Anyway these are just my thoughts on the topic
One thing that I believe is if the true essence of a person is to be kind, it doesn’t need a name like “an act of kindness”. If people need to be told to do acts of kindness it isn’t within them so for me it takes the kind out of the act making it the same for apologizing to someone because you were told to rather than you wanted to.
Humility cannot be obtained by striving for it or wanting it. We also must be weary of those who claim to have humility as they probably don’t. It is something you recognize in and see in another, but that person would not talk about themselves in that way. You always know when you are in the presence of someone who has some humility just like you do when they don’t have any.
Some people do have aspects of humility but in my belief, these are the people who are evolving their higher selves more rather than their personalities. We are human, so no one will carry any quality in its pure sense just like its not possible for someone to really love unconditionally even though people speak about this like they can. We carry both the negative and positive aspect within us, so we are working at getting the balance to weigh more into the positive.
Doing good deeds and noble acts while seeking kudos by announcing them is simply feigned integrity.
