At the height of the epidemic in Shanghai, the goodness of human nature could not be hidden.
A grandfather planted some vegetables in his family yard, and some neighbors asked if they could sell some of them?
Uncle said, "Selling is definitely not selling, but if you need it, I can send you some!" ”
The kindness of ordinary people is always very touching, and in times of danger, this kindness makes people warm and gives people strength.
The more difficult it is, the more it needs the goodness of human nature, and the more it can embody the goodness of human nature.
01
Kindness, first of all, is not asking for anything in return.
When Han Xin was young, he was very depressed, and it was difficult to continue to eat, and the drifting mother on the bank of the Huai River saw that he was pitiful, so she took out food for him to eat. Han Xin was very happy and said to the drifting mother, "I will definitely repay the old man heavily in the future." But the drifting mother said angrily, "I only gave you food to eat because I pitied your son, did I hope you would repay?" ”
Yes, goodwill produces good deeds, and good people do not worry about small things, nor do they overshadow and be sad because of gains and losses, and they are willing to think about others, from helping a person to having a lot of sentient beings in their hearts.
02
Kindness is still a kind of cultivation.
The Qing Dynasty university scholar Zhang Ying's neighbor built a house to occupy the three-foot foundation of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family was not satisfied, and xiu shu begged Zhang Ying to preside over justice. Zhang Ying replied with a poem: "The Thousand Mile Family Letter is only for the wall, so why bother if he is three feet; the Great Wall is still there today, and I don't see Qin Shi Huang in that year." The family was ashamed after receiving the book, so they gave way. When the neighbor saw the situation, he also gave way three feet and formed a six-foot alley. This good story has been passed down to this day.
In life, we can deeply feel that in contact with good people, wisdom is often opened, emotions become noble, souls become pure, and the mind is broader.
03
Kindness is actually to be kind to yourself.
There is such a story that touched Chinese and foreign netizens:
An old man waiting at the bus stop saw the pregnant woman next to the seat covering her stomach uncomfortably, and he tried to ease her mood and asked with concern: "Are you okay?" The pregnant woman said, "It's okay." ”
The old man was still not at ease, and then asked: "How long have you been pregnant?" The pregnant woman replied, "It's been 21 weeks." ”
"You'll succeed." The old man said encouragingly.
After a while, the old man asked with concern, "Just yourself?" ”
The pregnant woman replied, "It's just me and dad, he's sick." ”
The old man comforted her and said, "It will all be fine..."
In this way, the old man has been constantly chatting with the pregnant woman and giving her fatherly love.
Just then, the bus came, and the pregnant woman said, "The bus is coming, let's go, Daddy." ”
At this moment, the old man was full of doubts, paused for a moment and then took her hand and got into the car.
It turned out that the old man was a dementia patient, and he forgot everything, and even forgot that the pregnant woman who kept asking for warmth in the neighboring seat was his daughter. Even if he can't remember the people and things around him, the old man never forgets to care about others. He heals others with kindness, but also heals himself. Kindness is the background of his soul.
The American writer Mark Twain once said that kindness is a universal language that can make the blind "see" and the deaf "hear".
Kindness is gratitude for life, and it is a state of mind that is perfect and perfect. With people and kindness, tolerance for oneself, may every kindness be like rain and dew, infiltrated with the most beautiful life, the years pass, even if one day the face is no longer, life will be young and beautiful because of kindness, never wither.
