Human Kindness

Sometimes when we look around today, or watch the news, or read the paper, it is hard to imagine that human kindness is still around. There have been several movements around doing kind things for strangers. I am making this lens to help showcase some of these and hopefully get more involved!

Random Acts of Kindness. . .

I first read this book several years ago. I picked it up for about a buck at a bookstore that was closing down. I finished the book the same day and went back to that same bookstore and bought every copy off the shelf (there was 9), I then proceed to giving copies of the book to friends. It is not only a good read, it's funny, clever, and it actually reminds you that there are people out there willing to do some good for complete strangers. Since then I have joined Danny and recommended this book to tons and tons of people.

Free Hugs

The Free Hug Campaign is really kind of what it sounds like. It started with one man offering hugs to random strangers and evolved into a movement. Really, who doesn't need a hug sometimes?

    Sometimes in the midst of life we forget to live. Acts of human kindness serve to remind us that life is not meant to be a negative experience but a journey to be enjoyed and shared with others. Thanks for the upbeat topic. 5*
