Alright back to today's topic. As most of you may notice, we live in a very selfish world. Most people assume that the world revolves around them. They're very self-centred, want things for their own and whatever they do HAS to benefit them and if it doesn't? They'll just sod it. This results in humans not being helpful. Because if we don't gain anything from what we're doing then for what? That's none of my business right?
See, most people have that mindset. You see someone in need, you think "Ain't none of my business" and walk off. It's because we don't want to "involve" ourselves in anything. All we think about is me me me and not others.
Ellen Degeneres has this segment on her show called "Cash for Kindness". What she does is that, she'll send one of her staff members to act as e.g. a pregnant lady who dropped all her balls/a caterer who dropped his potatoes on the road and whoever helps them gets money from Ellen. Yeah its pretty funny but what really shocked me was that most of the people passing by did not give a damn about those people at all. There was one where Ellen's staff called "Andy" has to pretend to be a caterer who dropped his potatoes on the road and this cop came along. You may think "Oh yay, a hero!" Guess what he did, he kicked the potatoes to the side of the road -.- WTH and people drove around it. What a D right? Watch the videos if you can. You'll realise how people truly are.
In my daily life, I always try to help anyone around me as much as I can. Not because I may appear on Ellen or get money or what but I just want to lighten the burden of others. Think about the times where you needed help the most and no one was there for you. I was in a situation like that before and I hope that other people don't have to face the same thing because it sucks. It doesn't have to be like a huge ass thing ya know. You see someone with his/her hands full and is having trouble opening the door? Open the door for them. You see a lady struggling with her baby stroller and her baby, go over there and help. It's little actions like that, that makes the world go round. When I help people, I'm happy. When people help me, I feel inspired to help others and I hope all of you will feel the same way too. And when you help people, don't expect for anything. Do it out of sincerity. Do it to improve mankind because ya know we're all pretty fucked up. You help someone, that someone may feel inspired to help someone, and that someone you help may even help someone else. It's a possible cycle.
I just feel that kindness and being helpful is a good start to making this world a better place. I know y'all think this shit is gay but on a serious note, think about it. We're terrible people. How many asshole drivers are there on the road? How many people push you when you walk in a crowded place? As this bible verse goes, (It doesn't matter what religion you are because you know this line is so damn true)
"Do unto others as you would have done them unto you"
I just really hope that people would be more considerate and be more kind to others. This way there'll be less assholes in the world then everyone will be happy right? So again, you see someone in distress, don't just be a douche and walk away. Help them. If you don't, don't you dare call others an ass when no one helps you when you're in need. Karma will bite you in the ass.
