some people say there is no such thing as a selfless act, that any time we do something to

             help another person, we do get something in return, even if it’s just a warm feeling inside

             our heart or a bright smile. When I mean helping others, it’s not just donating money to

             orphanages or volunteering in charities that make a huge difference. Small acts of kindness

             like encouraging a friend, thanking a teacher with a surprise gift, or greeting the janitor can

             make a big difference in the lives of others. So, we should try our best to help others, what

             we get in return may not be expensive gifts, money, or clothing, but the feeling of joy of

             helping others.


                               When  someone  around  us  performs  a  good  deed,  it’s  hard  not  to  want  to  be

             involved.  When  we  see  the  happiness  it  brings  them  and  those  around  them,  it’s  only

             natural  that  we  will  want  to  catch  a  dose  of  their  altruistic  behaviour.  Studies  have

             confirmed this, with people more likely to perform generous acts after observing someone

             else doing the same. This means that it only takes one individual to start the domino effect

             of inspiring people to help others. Hence, I believe a caring society starts with a caring

             individual who is willing to lend their hand to those in need. A caring society starts with

             you. Thank you.
