One tiny step

Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world."

One man set up a little experiment. He drew a painting of a beautiful lady and put it up in the middle of the city. He placed a notice below it inviting the people to write comments. By the end of the day, the paper was filled with things like "her nose is too big" or "her cheeks look too fat." The next day, he wrote "Please correct whatever you feel looks bad" on a notice and hung it near the same painting, in the same place. Not one person acknowledged the painting and no one did anything to it. This clearly shows how the human nature works. We find fault in every little thing, but when it is really up to us to correct it, no one volunteers.
If every person made one small change from their side for the good of the world, the world would be a better place. Unfortunately, everyone thinks they are the 'greatest' and believes that such trivial things are beneath them. This is the worst attitude a person could have. Some people, on the other hand, do good just for credit; in other words, to show off. There are very few people on this earth who help do good to the society just for the happiness of it, who want nothing more than to make the world a better place. Doing good does not just mean donating large amounts to charity, or giving away free food. Every act of helping, however small, will bring happiness as long as you do it with a clear mind and a pure heart. Such an attitude is very rare in society. Hats off to those people, without whom, our society would have crumbled a very long time ago.
Happiness can always be found in the smallest things, like the smile on the face of someone you helped, the snore of someone you put to sleep after a long time or the voice of someone you helped train. Money and fame are the things that destroy such pure happiness, the happiness that gives you the satisfaction and peace of mind.So next time if you think of something that could make the world a better place, act on it and don't sit there like a statue. Every idea helps, and ever extra helping hand counts.
