Benevolence
Benevolence
Be kind!
Be magnanimous!!
Be compassionate!!!
Be humanitarian!
Be Good!!
Merely doctrines or principles of practice? Every school of thought, every being from the previous generation preaches goodness. Doesn't it? It does. We are born with certain innate traits which come naturally to us, effortlessly. Benevolence is one such trait. But as we grow and there are layers over layers of acquired personal characteristics, it gets dumped under the unnatural, conditioned, oddities and principles. Living is so much more easier with what is within and which does not require thinking or analysing. However, we are breeding generations who are more critical than appreciative, dejected than jovial, rejecting than appreciating- the reason being the choices available and rigidities. We need to rejuvenate and render what we learnt from our predecessors to our successors so that we may provide the right connect of existence.
There is so much distrust, disbelief, disorientation and dispute that knowingly or unknowingly we behave not so good-ly with people around, may be because of class, status, communal differences, educational level, hierarchical level and fearfulness of being taken advantage of... justifications in the present times of complexities is endless.
'To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction'. It's important that the action is worthy enough to result in fruitful repercussions and ripples that are comforting and scenic rather than stormy and perturbing.
For humans it is easier to be human than inhuman. Humanity is devoid of expectations. Only if we may not judge, presume and bind ourselves in our own status fallacies, we will have a better world to live in, more for our own selves than for others.
Few words of kindness, few gestures of humanity, soothing words of comfort, calming down an anxious soul, and a smile is not greatness but Goodness.
*Smile and a hundred smiles add way, frown and a hundred smiles fade away.*
