Recently, I saw a campaign at Tampines Library which stated "Let kindness show". So i decided to reflect on this since I am quite free nowadays. Mother Teresa once said:" Love is doing small things with great love" and" kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." Indeed, small gestures such as giving up your seats to the elderly,disabled and pregnant ladies and sharing your umbrella with a stranger during rainy days will touch one's heart greatly. People will then show their gratitude to you by saying a simple" Thank you." This feeling is "priceless" and I will not exchange it with anything else.
So, I am asking myself why Singapore needs this campaign especially like "Let kindness show"," Be courteous" and so on. Dont we feel ashamed that we need constant remainders from this campaign? These are reflections of our society today that some of our locals are inconsiderate. That is why the government needs to start these new campaigns. People pretend to doze off when they see the needy people just not to give up their seats. Even the train is full of passengers, there are still people who are hogging to three seats to oneself by stretching his legs. When alighting the mrt, there are instances that you need to nudge and struggle your way out due to inconsiderate people who rush in and dont let you alight. These actions reflect badly on us just because of some "bad apples" to foreigners who came to Singapore for vacation.
Kindness is something that you give without a return and with a true heart. Did not expect everyone to be a saint but kindness on somedays will brighten other's life greatly.
