It is indeed the one little act that can change the world around you and that of another. And in that one act you can find so much solace that it can last you a lifetime. I believe in this myself firmly. Hence my Blogs tag line says "Trying to save the world ONE blog post a t time" I know what a great feeling it is when one reader of your blog says something nice to you. Its always the best gift you could get. And the best part it doesnt cost a thing. Just a giving and helping attitude towards one person and soon if everyone did that, the world would certainly be a better place to live in. By the way, your blog deserves a lot more praise....You are doing a very good job here. And your writing style is really really great. Perfect and to the point. You have the knack of saying so much in just a few lines. That is a gift. You have got to consider writing a book :) .-= Zeenat(Positive Provocations}´s last blog ..<a href="http://zeenatsyal.wordpress.com/2009/09/04/love-will-truly-set-you-free/" rel="nofollow">Love Will Truly Set You Free</a> =-.

def agree that crusades and crusaders often lose sight of the purpose of the crusade but i don’t think all crusades are meaningless. a couple bad drivers doesn’t mean driving isn’t a good idea. in principle at least ;)

awwwsome idea though. really like the kindness tie-in. checking out the lists now.

i think that irrespective of whether you think that you count or not, when you are compassionate and kind, you move the universe in a positive direction.

…maybe that’s a lil hippy sounding. i guess what i mean – and it’s something i’ve been thinking about lots lately – is that people are often so closed and defensive and offensive and damaged and… not alive.

…and whenever you’re completely empathetic and seeing the humanity in others, being completely compassionate and genuinely caring for the person, they stop holding it all in. all the ego stuff dissolves. like it was never there. it’s like your compassion makes them let go of all the pain and suffering and allows them to just be – to just live – undiluted.
