There
are those who willingly give all that they have, never wanting or expecting
reciprocation. Others frown upon those
whom they believe are beneath them, never taking the time to see the true
essence of individuals they shun.
During
the holidays, many make a concerted effort to reach out. Think of someone other than him or
herself. Lighten the load of another out
of sincere acts of generosity. But then
the holidays pass. With them, some tend
to forget. When media and advertisers
stop inundating folks with thoughts of giving, some individuals fail to think
about others, allowing them to slip into their periphery. Or worse, they again begin to frown upon
those to whom they feel superior.
On
the flip side, there are those who navigate life, intent on brightening the
spirits of others…just…because. It’s not
that they know the individuals to whom they reach out, or that they feel any
sense of obligation. Instead, these special
people spread positive energy wherever they go and make it a point to do something
nice for total strangers each and every day.
What a great attitude to
have. To give so freely of one’s
self—all the time. Not just when
reminded to do so through media and advertisers.
