This is something we all know and yet don't follow. On the 40th Day, I would like to remind you of the Big picture of life...
We do what we do for love and finally end up being blind of love. We hurt the ones who love us and get hurt by the ones we love, we cry for people who don't notice us and ignore the ones who would cry for us. Its with so much selfish intentions that we love, and we expect other to be selfless.
Its pretty simple... You reap what you sow. If you are caring for someone, you will surely be cared by someone too. That is how things work, call it Karma or Newtonian Theory. But, we fail to recognize this and grieve for loss and smear for profits, but in the end, all is pretty balanced.
The more care and love given out, the more we shall receive and to show it, we need some motivation. That, you will have to do daily, as a practice. Until, kindness, becomes your nature.

Ask these questions to yourself. Why do you work/ play/ buy/ learn/ read/ write/ workout/ earn/ socialize?... A part of it is to be noticed by others and to be offered love. According to Transactional Analysis, these are called "Strokes". A person wants strokes, to keep themselves sane. Thus we act well, and if we don't receive (good)strokes, we act bad, and if we still don't receive (bad)strokes, you fall into depression.
Thus, every unpleasant act by someone, is because of the lack of (good)strokes, and understanding this, you can give lots of such "good storkes" to people you know, keeping them sane and pleasant. If the benefits of it is understood properly, then the world might be more pleasant.
I hope, the Big picture was "re-introduced" in this post to you... Please do give me your valuable feedback on this... Have a nice day!... :)
No... not through dating sites and all that... Just the love that you can see daily... a mom taking care of her baby, a friend letting another to sleep on his shoulders... a kid sharing an ice cream with his friend... as love, unlike hate, doesn't make any noise... it sweeps through us daily, in a silent way, and we can find them more and more when we look for them... but to ease up your mind at times of hard fate... take a piece of the love you found... write about the love that you witnessed today in your journal or take a photograph of it, or draw a picture about that love you witnessed... and if you find more, then drop a coin in jar for every act of love or kindness you have seen that day... Then, you would believe in love, kindness and compassion...and you get more of it, when you give it the attention it needs... :)
