Kindness is never wasted by Anaya G.

I believe that kindness is returned.
Catching up half a year’s school work can be draining and discouraging. My best friend in India had joined the school a semester late. Seeing her struggle, I sat with her during lunches and helped her out; without having any selfish motive. I did not expect any reward for it; our friendship was enough.
Life went on as usual, until I moved to Singapore.
Now, it was my turn to do all the catch-up work. I kept my eye on the end of year exam as a deadline. Not to mention, I maintained focus and did not expect help from anybody.
However, this one classmate of mine, selflessly came to my aid. She sacrificed her lunch time to sit with me and succoured with my work. Her assistance did not make me feel like a stranger in the school.
At first, I found it to be a mere coincidence that I was receiving the help I had once given, in the same way. But after pondering on the similarity of the situation, this belief came into light…
I believe that no act of kindness goes unseen.
Now I know. We do not need a motive to help; we need and opportunity.
Subsequently, no selfish questions come to my mind, asking me the gain from the assisting action.
Thankfully, I feel that someone will look out for me, other than my family.
I feel safe from the eyes of the beholders, judging me at every hand I lend. Somehow, I feel much more happy everyday.
