A recent incident made me think deeply about this. I was on the receiving side of a wonderful gesture by my landlord recently when we were moving out. We had to move into a new place which would be an easier commute for my wife with better schools for kids.
My landlord graciously offered to give half the month's rent (since we left mid-way during the month) - above and beyond what the contract stated. The gesture left me thankful and recipient of a wonderful gesture that left me thinking.
In this competitive world - when do we pause to reflect and give something to someone with absolutely no expectation whatsoever in return? We are constantly thinking about "ourselves". The selfish gene knowingly or unknowingly gains upper hand in our actions.
This one small gesture made me realize that there's more to human nature than just cause and effect. Maybe there are things that can truly bring us happiness by just giving.
This is just a note to me as much as for you. Help forward. Our blessings are too many to count. The world needs more good men.
Ciao till next time...Harsha
