Tiny Acts of Kindness

A friend used to call me "tak."

 

But for today, I would like to highlight something I like to call, "Tiny Acts of Kindness."

By tiny, I don't mean insignificant. What I mean is this wonderful mixture of generosity and kindness blended with humility and love.

 

On Sundays, visiting the pet fish stalls in Colon, Cebu City became a habit. There's just something about fish and not having to walk it every day. (Joking aside, I had a dachshund when I was in college. Oh the memories.)

 

On my way there, I noticed this dude holding clothes, looking at the people living on the streets, counting the clothes, then giving it to them.(I literally had 2 seconds to pull out the camera from the bag and take a shot.)

 

 

What amazed me the most was just the dude's act of kindness but also the lady in the photo. She said, while receiving the clothes and saying her thanks, to give some of it to the man down the street because he needs it more. From how she said it, she showed she isn't related to that man down the street in any way. She just cared for him. And that made my heart warm.

 

 

So warm, I'll be doing the same thing--doing Tiny Acts of Kindness.

 

 

Thanks dude!
