For the greater good

We should all act in the interest of the greater good. This pandemic has brought out so many random acts of kindness but it has also brought out the dark and selfish side of people. My Friday thought for you today is to do something for the greater good that you have no possible way of getting anything in return except for the warm feeling that you get as a result.

Here are a few idea’s, volunteer your time to a good cause in the community. Here is a link for a few opportunities here in Halifax. Check in on a friend or family member that you have not heard from in a while. Give a sincere complement to someone you meet today. Help your neighbour clean up the fallen leaves. Bring some of your clothes that you are not using to charity. Pay for the car behind you in the drive through. Lastly but certainly not least, call Canadian Blood services and make an appointment to donate blood or plasma.

While we don’t receive anything back to us directly from these generous acts, the feeling that you have done something wonderful more than makes up for it. I gave blood again yesterday and as a O- I feel like it is a personal responsibility as well. The blood supply was there when I needed it a few years ago and each time I donate I think of all the people it is helping.
