Taken from my daily question:
I was having a discussion w a friend about random acts of kindness. More and more ppl are choosing to participate in events that involve RAOK (ex. a young lady passed away a few yrs back and her parents created ROAK in Nicole's memory...each yr they do something x her age... This year her mom handed out 33 white roses to strangers walking down the street).
RAOK are simply to try to encourage kindness, and IMO, we all need to remember that being kind is not costly, not a hassle, takes very little effort and you never know what ppl are going through in their lives and your simple act of kindness could make their day
Here are a few links about RAOK:
http://www.actsofkindness.org/
Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_act_of_kindness
Some stories: http://www.peopleandpossibilities.co...sstories2.html
I started this thread, for others to post any RAOK they have done on that day.
The reason is not to brag, but to share, to give other ppl ideas of kind gestures they could do....and to bring a smile to others. Its hard not to smile when reading some very selfless stories, and it is also encouraging.
I hope this thread will encourage even just one person to go out of their way a tad to help make another smile, to give ideas, or feel good by reading other stories of kindness.
Please post away, I am hoping to be able to post here daily, and I hope you can too.
