Hello everyone,
Time to say more things that will be unpopular.
I visit a lot of different sites. Check out a lot of different social media. And I noticed something, a trend so to say. I often read things like, I just read this amazing article about someone doing (fill in the blank).
I think it is good to spread good stories. Maybe they will inspire others? Maybe people feel good about “things” when they read them? Sharing stories of people’s good work is, well… good.
But, and there’s always a “but” isn’t there. What I do not read is how people on these sites and media outlets are actually doing something themselves. Sure, some do. Not saying that no one is. But there are trillions-of-gajillions of people that visit the different web sites and social medial platforms. And the greater majority of these people claim to care and want to do good for others. So where are all their stories?
Absence of a thing does not prove its non-existence. But seriously, five thousand people visit a web site a day and post regularly. And about once every two or three weeks you see “a” story about someone helping someone else. If this was the Forbes web site I could expect such a thing. But even on the Forbes website there are more stories about people helping others. (It seems that way)
Are we ashamed to tell others about our good deeds? Or worst, are we just keyboard warriors that only say we want to help others… but when push comes to shove we don’t actually do anything! What I hope is that we are all so busy with life and helping others that we just don’t think to post about it.
The Holiday season is upon us. Every year the Monastic Order of Knights raises money to help the fight against cancer. And I hope everyone reading this will help out with whatever they can in that fight. But on a different note I hope each of you will do something this holiday season to help out someone less fortunate than yourself. Get a toy for an underprivileged child. A coat for someone that cannot afford to protect themselves from the cold. Spend time at a soup kitchen and feed those with nothing to eat. Donate a couple of dollars to those annoying people standing in the cold ringing their bells at you. Anything! Every piece of assistance, no matter how small you think it is, can make a huge difference in another person’s life.
And once you have helped out another, write about it! Let others know that you are a part of the effort to make the world a better place. And when enough of us get on board we really can make big, lasting change.
Thank you
And God bless you.
