Why i think the world is beautiful

[sexy-girl]

there seem's to be quite a few members that are going through hard things at the moment and some negatives swirling around the board when i feel down i try and think of all the beautiful things about the world and things i see on here ... flame me if you think im being too sappy i wont care



* when a stranger will offer their most precious gift to help somebody feel better ... their time

* when a stranger can truly care and be upset at anothers pain and want more then anything to make that person feel better even though they've never met

* when someone you've never met can say something and give you a smile that will stay with you for the whole day


theres many more i could post of course but thats a start can anyone post more without naming any names ?

Wow! How nice!

*I thought that was you, but you don't look anything in real life like you do in your av!*

Random kindnesses on line and in real life are the sugar on your cheerios!

~Having somewhere to go when you are blue and knowing you can just be cranky, sappy, sad and other's will give you *hugs*.

~sharing your coffee time with a complete starnger, well not so completely, because you've talked told your cyber friends things you wouldn't/couldn't/shouldn't tell your r/l friends.

~Respect based on your mind, not your money, your car, your appearance, your status in life.

Is that what you were getting at hon?

My random kindness this week is to have a former employee stay with me. ~sigh~ she found out her husband had molested her daughter and needs to "hide out" until the authorities finish their investigation and get restraining orders etc. My heart breaks for her and her 2 yr old daughter.

It's good to know that some people here actually seem concerned about people who are having hard times right now, so as one of them, I thank you for saying so.

I've lived my whole life trying to help others, going I believe way beyond the call of duty in some cases, to make it a better day for someone else, while knowing that my day may not be the best, but it made someone else happy, and that's all that mattered at the time.

Now, I'm sitting here, just wondering when all the good karma starts to come back to me. Hmmm, people seem to forget that if you help them, then there may come time for them to help you one day.

Monday after I found out I lost my job, I was at the gas station and while pumping the gas, a man pulled his car next to mine, and told me "Sir, I ain't got no song and dance, I'm just going through hard times, and wondered if you could spare a dollar". I figured he was needing it to get gas for his car, what a sucker I must be, because I try to give people a small amount if I have some to spare. So I gave him the dollar he asked for, and watched him go into the building, when I finished pumping my gas, I went inside to pay, and noticed him standing at the counter with two beers. I was so pissed, but I didn't say anything, I just tried to look away, and laugh to myself.

Does this mean I'm going to stop helping people, just because I can use the help and support now? NOPE! Not at all, even if I know that helping them probably won't come back to me.

P.S. - Misstaken, if you call it spreading a little sunshine, then we'll take your word for it hon! That's a different way of putting it.

" Does this mean I'm going to stop helping people, just because I can use the help and support now? NOPE! Not at all, even if I know that helping them probably won't come back to me. "

This is precisely what makes the world beautiful to me.
I know you'll get those kind actions returned to you, libido;
what comes around goes around.

Hang in there.

ok this probably wont make you think the world is beautiful but lobito's story reminded me of something


i too had a person come upto me just youngish guy little younger then me asking if i could spare 20pence ... it was in a crowded part of the mall and i said sure i took out some change and gave him 20p he looked at my change and saw there was about £5 in change there he said give me the rest too i said no he said he had a knife for some reason i wasnt scared and i told him to bugger off his two friends had come over closer by now too so it was hard for me to just walk directly away they kept insisting i gave them all my money i kept saying no i wasnt afraid i think because i knew people were around


anyway i guess a guy quite nearby overheard what happened he came over he was bigger and older then the other 3 guys and said is there a problem they turned to him and said no ... as they turned towards him i quickly walked away and went back too work (it was my lunch break) ... i felt sad afterwards that i hadnt been able to thank the guy that came over


i guess that story says theres good people and bad people in the world ... but longs the good people keep helping eachother out we're manage

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

Sexy-girl though you didn't get to thank him. He probly didn't care. I"m that type. I do things just to feel better, no thanks nesisary. If i can help, that's all i need.


Only thing i can think of that was a selfless act of helping those less fortunate then me, Is helping build some houses for Habitat for humanity.
but the best example i can think of, of people helping others is. Firefighters. They put their lives on the line for people they don't even know, yes they get paid for it but it was still their choice to take that type of job.

this lady i met yesterday was really nice... she found me crying in the bathroom of one of the buildings on campus.. she sat with me, and talked with me, and just kept talking to me until all the tears (and the sniffles) were gone... i had no expectation of anyone doing such a thing.. but she took the time out (she was supposed to be working) to help me calm down and cheer up a little and then even offered me a ride back to my dorm room..

i was amazed (still am) at how nice she was... and all i could think was how i had been in and out of bathrooms all over campus all day crying and no one had stopped once just to ask if i was ok.
