Kindness is Magic

So today, I want to talk about a very sensitive issue that most of us fail to understand-Kindness. Now what does it literally mean? We don't know because we never cared or bothered to check.

Kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous and considerate. Yes, it is not an act, it is not play. It comes from within, from our instinct. You cannot fake being kind. It is the one quality which comes from inside, from your soul.

After the demise of a very young, talented, great and most importantly- kind actor Sushant Singh Rajput, each and every one of us was shaken to our cores. All of us were mourning over the loss of such a great personality. Following his demise, everybody started spreading awareness about mental health, how anybody who wanted help should not hesitate to ask for help. But I want to ask you people where was this spirit and enthusiasm about mental health before!? Are we so selfish and we have become so self-absorbed that we have forgotten to stop and think about others! You never know what goes on in anyone's life except your own.

So let me ask you a question. How many suicides will it take for people to realise that the shit they say hurts?

People will not wait if you care. Many people care, but we need to care enough.

When you are putting Instagram stories and updating your WhatsApp status about mental health, you need to mean it completely because faking kindness is one of the meanest and cruelest things you can ever do.

When you say we need to be kind, you need to mean it. You need to care enough about people. You need to help others with 100% dedication. you need to know how read between the lines and interpret the signs of a person who has come to you. People will not always ask you for help, but you need to help them yourself.

If you stop giving people unwanted and free advice and start giving and offering them help, freely and willingly, you will see how much happiness that gives you. You will see your insides get filled with such selfless joy that you have never experienced before. It is indeed like magic.

That is why I say, kindness is magic. Being kind should not be optional but it should be essential. All of us need to embrace life, help other, live and let live. We need to stop living in tiny bubbles and just stay content in that. We need to pop those bubbles, come out of them and enjoy our lives, let people come in to help, go out and help others. That is what life is all about. Giving and sharing and loving and receiving. All the best to everyone for their future. Never give up hope in life. Give and offer help to people and always remember you are not alone, what you give always comes back. All we need to do is hold on.

In the loving memory of Sushant Singh Rajput.
