This blog post is primarily in response to some conversations I've had with people over the past week. For some reason, it's hard for some to accept the simple fact that there are good hearts in this world. That when a person is nice or does some kind act, it can simply be from the love in their heart for a fellow human being and not for any ulterior motive.
I grant that in this world there are people who are nice, using flattery and helping in many ways, to either get attention/recognition or influence another in some way. Some help others in this world because they believe it will lead to some great prize, including power. But I sincerely believe these are the minority.
Then there are many, many others who help people out of the love/kindness of their hearts. They roll up their sleeves and/or open their hearts just because it's another person in need, and their hearts go out to another human being who is suffering at the time.
The reason we more often see the minority is a combination of humility of the vast number of good hearts (and anonymity that goes with that), and that the media covers the darker side of human nature - the greed, the corruption, the lies. We are taught that this darker nature is what rules all hearts; that there will always be an underlying motive other than a good heart. But this is not true.
I believe the majority of people in this world would help another if they see the opportunity within their hands and believe they can help. A bit of faith in each other can go quite a long way.
Ulterior motive we don't need
To help another indeed.
Simply be Good.

I have seen only the people who seek the help from others but become barren when other needs that... Why People are becoming so selfish??? We all need to show others love whether we are able or not able to Help others..
ReplyDeleteMany people have been "taken" so many times that its hard to believe that there are those of US that will simply do good things for others with NO strings attached. I love doing for others and I never, ever ever expect anything in return.
ReplyDeleteI love that this surprises people and i always hope that it will help them to see the world in a different light! A brighter one!
