"IMPRESS NO ONE BUT HUMANITY"

Often times, most of our good gestures are not deep; they are not from the heart there this makes them surface based acts of kindness to impress a set of people or a group to achieve certain selfish goals. Only a few proportion of people carry out the real and actual acts of kindness without expecting ovation from anyone or anywhere. One of the reasons why most charity organizations and firms swindle funds meant for relief purposes which had been donated by different benefactors. These criminal Organizations exists all over the world and they must have impressed before which clouded their real motives and intentions.

Some individuals help and not trying to impress anyone, one of such persons is Mrs.Kalu, a widow of over a decade in her early sixties. All her kids are all grown ups and she was provided a maid to look after her. Although a maid/servant; Mrs.Kalu took the maid as her daughter just like she always treats everyone in her Neighborhood.

Now the act of kindness is not a matter of religion or spirituality but a self-will and goodwill from a Noble and pure Heart!

"Madam do good" as Mrs.Kalu is always referred to in her community. She takes care of the old ones around her as well as the needy giving them free meals a couple of times a week out of the funds her kids sends to her for upkeep.

Everyone has frown fond of Madam do good and her fame had spread to neighboring communities. The motives behind Mrs.Kalu's kindness is never known, all that matters to the people around was that she takes care of the helpless ones around the community she lives in.

For a while, everyone in the community always thought of madam do good as a very wealthy woman because of the way she treats the people around her, fact is that Mrs.Kalu always exhausts her funds the first two weeks of every month and always seeks out loan from the bank to be able to meet the needs of her people. At some point, her loan was becoming too much that the bank had sent realtors and Estate Valuers to estimate her apartment for collateral. Only "madam do good", her maid and the bank knew about her dilemma; no one else knows and cares once they are being fed and taken care of.

Then something miraculous happened, a senator who was returning from visiting his in-law was passing by with his entourage. He saw people gathered at Mrs.Kalu's property as the Bank was sealing the place up and this shocked everyone and hundreds had gathered to see the unfortunate event as it unfolds concerning their precious "madam do good". The Senator got curious and halted his convoy to know what was going on. Immediately the name "madam do good" was mentioned, he startled because he had been hearing rumors about the famous woman.

The senator beckoned Mrs.Kalu to ask what was going on after telling her how honored he was to finally meet her. She briefly told the senator her dilemma, with a smile he signaled to one of his aides and right there he issued a check that tripled the amount Mrs.Kalu was owing the bank to her.

"In her quest to help others, she went bankrupt so as to keep people smiling without them knowing what she was going through, then the universe backed her efforts up!"

Some people are good in displeasing themselves just to get an applaud from others. Is a nice post @oluwoleolaide. Is good for us to be our self and not to live our life for people.

Your Posts are golden.

Yeah. I think writing down might have its advantages as well as disadvantages too.

When writing, you might not really get to pit down everything in the head.
But then in a video or an audio, u can get to say everything that comes to the mind.
But currently, I do more of writing cuz I'm not all that pretty to appear on a video. Lol.

Thanks for sharing

I really enjoyed your story. Is so nice that we still have people that do good. Thanks for sharing.

Now the act of kindness is not a matter of religion or spirituality but a self-will and goodwill from a Noble and pure Heart!

Speaking about "goodwill and kindness" , permit me to say, Sir, u are not far from it...
I came into steemit, believing that every steemians are in one group or the other and also have there followers they upvote all d time. That d best way to drag attentions of senior colleagues, you have to communicate a lot by asking constructive questions and commending good blogs..

But beyond all odds, without all the formalities, U have carried me along by upvoting almost all my article without even knowing me or belongings to d same group with you. At a point, I went to zoom all, ur pics to see, if you know me somewhere 4 this kind gestures.

I really do appreciate you for that and remain My personal Mr /Mrs kalu..
Thanks bro..

Thanks for your kind words brother, i am honored.

Steemit was created without cacus or groups, and it was meant to encourage each other no matter the Race and distance nor ethnicity. But it saddens me to see all that has changed but i still hope all can be reversed. Thanks again and my regards to madam.

Lol.. This one u said my regards to madam...
Na u I dey call "Mrs kalu" ooh... From ur story.. As my personal hero.. 😂

I never marry

Life smiled back at her after reaching rock bottom. Good ending.

It doesnt always end up well for everyone trying to do good.

I have learned not to give my all for the sake of charity.

Humans are remarkably funny.
They'll keep coming back for more and when you can'y help them, you become a bad person
