Today I've been watching the news and I have seen many little articles about how many people have come together to drop off items to help out the people that were hit hard by hurricane Dorian mainly for the people in the Bahamas who were hit so hard. Also today an article about teenagers cleaning up the headstones in a veterans graveyard for veterans day. I am not complaining about these acts of kindness at all but I do want to point out that acts of kindness are so rare that when they happen when people do the right thing it becomes something that is so rare that a big deal is made over it.
The thing that I want to rant about is why must there be a natural disaster before people can come together to help others out. Why must there be a holiday for people to tend to the graves of veterans or to plant a few trees. It would probably be easier and cheaper for the people that have the extra money to buy non perishable necessities and donate to be used for the people that can't afford most of these items or just to be held in storage so that if one of these natural disasters strikes these items can be there and ready to send to the people that need them faster than it takes to take up donations. I'm just confused why can't people commit acts of kindness daily why does it have to become a big deal when a young person helps an older person. Or and this one makes no sense to me why when a young black man visits and spends time with an elderly white couple becomes a huge story on a news show. That bothers me because such a big deal was made out of the story because apparently everybody here in the southern United States are racist and can't comprehend a person making friends with another person.
I'm just saying I can pretty much guarantee that it's not going to kill people to be nice and considerate and kind to others. Without judging whether they deserve help because of stories about how some people take advantage of people who would help them. If a homeless person ask for money to buy food if you're worried that if you give the money if you have it they will spend it on not food, maybe buy it and bring it back to them or give a giftcard to McDonald's or something, pre-order and pay on one of the apps and let them pick it up.
Just be kind do it for the right reasons and treat people like you would hope to be treated if you found yourself in their shoes
