being kind over being right.

as much as i would like to keep my faith in humanity, there are days when doing so is just not easy.

i don't understand why some people prefer to give others a hard time when they can actually turn the situation around and be of help. i wonder how badly life has been treating them to always think of getting even.

i am not always good. there are days when pain and anger get the better of me that i intentionally refuse to be kind. there are days when i am so caught up by morning rush and busy life that i miss out the chances of helping others along the way. there are days when i feel rotten after passing by an old lady struggling to cross the street and i did nothing. there are times when i regret not letting someone share my umbrella with me when it's raining. days when i am so much in a hurry and i don't even have a minute to spare to do these random acts of kindness. days when i have alibis.

i am not always good. but i always try. because i've got nothing to lose.

some days, let's forget about the protocols and SOPs and parameters. life is not easy, but sometimes we are placed in a privileged part of making someone's life a little bit lighter. and even if at first you think you're doing them a favor, in the end you'll realize, the pleasure is actually yours. all yours.
