This is the video that I watch on my down days because it always makes me smile. People are too quick to say that the world is a cold and cruel place, people just don't trust that other people would want to do nice things for others without any personal gain from it. For example, my best friend and myself went around our town centre with bunches of flowers that we had bought from our own money and handed them out, for free, to strangers along with a card about the organisation Random Acts (www.therandomact.org) that we both care a lot about, and we couldn't believe how hard it was to give something away for free. People didn't trust that we didn't want anything from them, even after we told them again and again that they were free. The point of them was to brighten someone's day and raise awareness for Random Acts at the same time, but people didn't want them and some were so rude about it, we only managed to successfully hand out three or four bunches. It disheartened me, that people couldn't believe we just wanted to do a nice thing, and that's why I love this video so much, they are random acts of kindness being shown in the video. The world isn't as bad as the media makes us believe, there are genuinely nice people out there. So my task for you today (my avid readers :P) is to do something kind for someone else, whatever it may be, big or small. It makes a difference.
