I had been waiting for my friend when I passed by this busker (an uncle playing the harmonica) while getting something to eat. I passed by him again when I returned to the spot to continue waiting for my friend. While munching away I kept observing him, and I somehow felt an urge to get him something to drink, cos when I looked around I didnt see any water around him. I bought him a bottle of mineral water and dropped him a dollar. I got my friend to pass him the water while I dropped him the money, and she told him: Uncle this is for you to drink. The look he gave when he thanked us cannot be put into words. There was a mixture of surprise and gratitude. I somehow felt that bottle of water meant more to him than the money he had collected for the day.
So, what good did you do today?

kiki is just shy... I wash my family bathroom just now so that my mom wont fall down if she go to take a bathe~ I guess its my little good deed considering how lazy I am :)

'Charity' is the need to balance man's innate selfishness and superego.
Besides, if an act is even sincere - there is not a need to make it known to the world.
To give food to a homeless, then parade around with gongs and drums to announce to the world that you've done a 'good deed'... is nothing more than vanity...
Edit: Not directed at anyone, just my harsh views

We thought about what you say before starting this topic... but I realise how people stop doing deeds like this already because no one else do it, why should I?
The "IN' thing right now is to be cold to the world, as what I can see in school and all. Everything people do has a "motive" now, I clean my bathroom because I remember what kiki did, and I just want my mom to know I care.
It's great to get praise sometime, how great was my last yong tau foo with all the added no charge ingredient after bball training just now just because I told the uncle that his foood is nice. Even if being kind to people, I rather the people around me is praising me and letting the world know what I did than a face of disgust and thinking how stupid I am.No worry, I don't think kiki will take it to heart too, after all you meant no harm
It would be great though if you can post something you did today or any passerby that did something that warmth your heart. At least with more people posting, more people will be affected and start trying to be good to the rest and the world is now a better place
If I ever get cold and stop being nice again, at least I have a place for me to realise the little thing I did that changed the people around me and the world still have people like kiki and everyone else that lend a helping hand to the one that is down.

Why suddenly so... solemn.
*checks out posts*
Oh it's Detached.

If you are good, people will take advantage of you.
-
Then shame on them.
Why let others affect who you are?
-
Are good deeds limited to just actions?
Or does speech count?
Today made me realise that maybe keeping what you know to yourself may be helping not only others, but yourself as well.
Let all the nasty informatiion stop at yourself; let there be input but no output.
