Kindness : The language deaf can hear and Blind can see

   It is truly said “kindness in words creates confidence kindness in thinking creates profoundness and kindness in giving creates love.” “let me help you. Can i help you with your load aunt? Why don’t we go together. You dropped your lunch box. I can share my tiffin.”These are some statements one commonly hear, and must have said these sometimes too. These are some very common and usual ways of helping others. We all are kind to the core and it is something that we learn by the way of seeing and practicing. Kindness is a simple concept, yet so very impactful. It can make the world a better place by ending suffering at the hands of war, hunger, human rights violations, and injustice. The very act of expressing graciousness to one another can make us more empathetic of other people’s hardships. Kind words and kind deeds done by us are not only a boon for the recipient but are also a blessing to us as well. When we help others with their tasks, are polite to them and do other such act of kindness it gives us a sense of accomplishment and joy. No act of kindness gets wasted. Thus one should be kind to others and perform the deeds of kindness whenever one can.

    Today, I felt terrible. My head was full of problems and confusion. I decided to take a walk even though I didn't know where I would go. The most extraordinary thing happened when I was out on this walk. I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. I thought he looked at least 75 years old. He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes. I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me. Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say, "Grandfather, may I polish your shoes?" That old man took pity on her, smiled and he gave her a shoe to polish. The girl said, "I polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform." Submit I heard this and tears came to my eyes. The old man answered, "Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform." Then they walked to a market (I followed behind) and he bought her a uniform. The girl was so happy. She said, "Thank you so much for doing this. May God bless you." Then she left, leaving the old man smiling. He walked away from the market, but I stopped him. I whispered in his ear, "You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness!" As I walked away, I glanced back and I could see him still smiling. I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen. Someone who had so little themselves, was able to show such incredible generosity! Amazing! My own sadness had completely disappeared, chased way by the light of this kind act. I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for. I hope, some day, I can show my appreciation of what I have by following the example of the old man who only had a little, but shared it so beautifully with someone who had nothing.

     My mother was suffered of cramp. She was just laying on her bed. She looked very pale. She kept holding her legs while giving an herbal oil but it doesn't cure her feeling pain. She even couldn't sleep because of feeling hurt. It was late night but she couldn't fall asleep. Looking at her condition, I tried giving her a help which is massaging her legs. 
"Mom, can I massage your legs? Hopefully,your leg will be getting better."
"Don't worry, honey!' said my mother. Just go to sleep. It was late night. You should go to school tomorrow."
"I'm okay, mother. The most important thing is you can sleep well after this. 
Then, I did massage all her legs very softly with a special oil so called "but but". What a surprised! My mothers' pain has been gone and my mother can sleep well. Then, I prayed to God to give my mother a good health forever. After that, I gave her a thick blanket onto her body, so that my mother can sleep well. 

I love my mother and I don't want something bad happen to her.
