Today is World Kindness Day. I have received many acts of kindness and I’m grateful. I like to think I was kind while I was working as a practicing psychiatrist before I retired in 2020.
Sena has seen acts of kindness at the grocery store. One of them involved an elderly woman in the checkout lane at the grocery store who could not pay for her groceries. The guy behind her, a total stranger, paid her bill.
Acts of kindness don’t have to be grand or involve extreme personal sacrifice. They often go unnoticed and are probably often bestowed anonymously.
You may not have to do any specific thing for a specific person. There is a lovingkindness meditation (the Metta Prayer).
