Bit of a backwards kindness today…in so far as the kindness was done to me. My lovely neighbours went completely out of their way and lent me their car, their time and themselves. The distance we needed to travel was reasonable and the time it took, considerable……the job also involved a fat and stubborn pony.
What did they gain out of it? Nothing really, what did I gain?….well a problem solved a job done and a feeling that there are good people out there who care and that can put aside their own busyness to help little old me (and of course a fat and stubborn pony). I was so grateful and it got me thinking that being grateful is just as important as being kind. The selfish, shallow and arrogant people are missing out and the rest of us; the trying our best ones, are feeling good and quietly, gratefully smug. Kindness #5….Role reversal.
