Kindness Works Like A Boomerang

08 September 2021

I was reading a book earlier and this one about being a little kinder that what you have to be caught my attention. Just the title itself is self explanatory so I won't dig to it any further.

Now, let us focus on how kindness works like a boomerang.

I am so guilty about being unproductive these past days but I guess, it's not so bad at all. I have been spending my time watching random videos at facebook and there's one video related to kindness working like a boomerang caught my full attention, even my emotion. I tried looking for the video again right at this moment but I can't find it anymore.

Going back, as to what boomerang does, it causes a chain reaction that will pass on from person to another person until it came back to the original person where it came from. And that's exactly how kindness works.

We will never know how our kindness will affect the recipient of it. We will never know how far will our kindness go. Few videos I watched includes a person who helps someone in need and after a long time, when the person who receives help sees another person who is in need of help, he didn't hesitate to help the one in need without expecting anything in return.

And then at the end, I found out that the first receiver of kindness happened to help the child of the one who helps him back then when he's still the one in need. Indeed, kindness has its boomerang effects.

So, help! Show kindness! Spread kindness!

Help without expecting anything in return. Help knowing that you are making an impact to the life of that person whom you are helping. Help knowing that the chain won't just end in the one you have helped, for sure they will also help, then the one whom they helped will help and so on and so forth until the kindness you've shown will come back to you. Maybe not from the same person you helped, but surely, more blessings will come unto you.

I can't find the exact video I have watched but here's a video that exactly portrays boomerang kindness. It was a video from 10 years ago already but still, no matter how many times I have watched this, the effect is still the same for me.

Since boomerang involves going back, I don't necessarily mean that you should help so that the kindness you've shown will come back to you. I guess what I'm saying is that your little act of kindness can reach a lot of people that you couldn't even imagine. With our small act of kindness, assuming that the it'll produce a chain reaction, we can reach a lot of people without us even knowing.

Your simple act could make a difference. Show kindness and let it work like a boomerang.

Be a little kinder than you have to be

What saddening here is that no matter how easy it is to show kindness, it is just so hard from others to do it. So if we can, let us be a little kinder than necessary. Let us be extra kinder than we have to be.

The person who sows seeds of kindness will enjoy a perpetual harvest. Be kind and start sowing now!

Let me end this article with a poem from Henry Burton;

Have you had a kindness shown?

Pass it on.

'Twas not given for thee alone,

Pass it on.

Let it travel down the years,

Let it wipe another's tears,

Till in heaven the deed appears--

Pass it on.

Hi there. Thank you for reading this far. Let's pass on kindness and with our little act, let's make this world a better place. I hope you enjoyed reading this one. Feel free to share your thoughts at the comment section below. :)
