Good deeds & Love

I learned from my mother what a good dead is at a young age, she has given Christmas to many who would have had none, organized Christmas events collecting money, mittens and hats for kids in need, and let two small children's world light up as the Easter bunny came to their house not only warming their hearts but that of the parent. I am not going to name names or the countless deeds she had done, for they needn't be mentioned. They have passed and left their resounding effect on the world.

Think of the joy that has come from her having such a warm and giving heart. People always say I am so giving, I say that I get it from her.

A lady was outside talking to the police just now. I had my dog outside and was smoking a cigarette, I had only brought the one down. She asked me if she could have one and I said "sorry I only have this one." Distraught she walked away and for some reason my heart sank a little. I ran upstairs, got her a cigarette and came down to light it for her. She started crying again saying thank you, after the cruelty she just witnessed she wondered if there were still good people out there.

All I did was go out of my way to run up my apartment to get a cigarette. All I do is tell someone they look good today, or have cute boots, or smell nice...

You never know just how far something small will go, something that takes two seconds out of your day or an entire holiday season, with hours of preparation.

All I'm saying is being a caring, loving human being is what I believe we are put here on the earth to do. We have the capacity to love and to hate, if you could choose to only feel one which would you choose? Love, right? Then why do you anger so much? Why do you choose hate so often? It may not be easier, but the right path to choose is love, in any situation, no matter how small or how big.

I'm just asking you to be a good person, you may not have had a mother and a father like mine to raise to teach you how to be one, but that doesn't mean you can't. It doesn't mean you cant tell the lady in front of you at the grocery store she looks nice today, who knows it could change her day. An Easter basket could end up changing the world.

In words of legends "All you need is love."
