Today while at my desk an e-mail chain came into my inbox. Yet another communication that claims that if you torment enough of your friends then something good will happen to you. These days with the unemployment rate continuing to increase, faltering economy, and endless indicators on the daily news reminding us how depressing things are, it’s no wonder that people are doing whatever they can for a little good luck.
Don’t get me wrong there are many touching, humorous, and great e-mails that need to be shared with friends, families, and colleagues. But this should be done for the right reason and not because of a hope for a quick windfall, gifts, love, or friendship.
So instead of the instant delete that many of these e-mail receive once they cross into the inbox, I decided to try something. Quickly the text related to the following was cut; the heading, “testimonies”, and the text stating you will receive millions of dollars if you forward to everyone in your mailbox. Soon the simple message remained and included a message that all you need to do is do one simple Random Act of Kindness [RAK] to one person that you normally might not have done previously. This could be anything, see how your life can change by trying this.
Then what would be better than to see how these RAK impact people? So this post has been created in order to start documenting how people can help each other.
So please feel free to leave a comment about RAK that you have done, RAK that have been done to you, or any comment relating to this topic.
Look forward from hearing from you all and remember you are not limited to just one RAK!
