Kindness

Kindness is an ongoing act. Kindness is happening everywhere. This is the message from our government. In his 1996 New Year Message, then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong highlighted the need for Singapore to become a gracious society by the 21st century.

Kindness start from ourselves, we must pass it on to our family members, friends and relatives. Kindness is helping somebody who is in need of help. Is the practice of being or the tendency to be sympathetic and compassionate. Yes, it is important for people to be kind as if you help someone, in the future,when you need help,that person may help you. People can show their kindness by helping others or just helping something (go to http://www.helpothers.org/story.php). One day after school, I took the bus back home, I saw an old lady climbing up the stairs boarding the bus. I decided to offer my seat to the old lady. Unfortunately, a young man sat down on the seat instead of the old lady. Doesn't that make you angry? Well,I was pretty angry and did not want to make a scene as another boy offered his seat to the old lady. With these people around, I think Singapore will take many more years to become a gracious or kind society.
