bad1Random acts of kindness can be manifested in different ways. A friend going out of her way to ease someone’s burden. Simple gestures you unconsciously do, yet brings cheer to other people. Throwing candy wrappers into proper waste baskets (especially if you’re inside my house.lol). Uttering kind words. Sharing some chocolates. Being patient.

The list, I tell you, is endless.

Over time, I was able to prove that kindness is contagious and that one generous act is enough to trigger euphoria.  Do one good deed and it magnifies tenfold. Wives are an excellent example. Keep a wife happy and the entire family does!

Actually, I heard this from Kuya Kim at Simply KC this morning: “a happy wife is a happy life”. Sounds ludicrous but that is one hundred percent true. A husband don’t have to look far and beyond to unlock the secrets to a felicitous family.

However, this post is just about the opposite. Guess who’s harboring guilt right now because of an awful deed?

I just blocked a former classmate at my Facebook today. Isn’t it so unkind of me? Most of the time I can be pikon (sore loser), my sisters and brothers, and parents can tell you that straight-face. And I am not denying it. Oh, how many times have I gotten into fight because of this trait. But that’s how I am. It will take time, effort, and will to completely erase it.

Maybe you’re interested why I blocked the poor fella. He just typed the magic phrase: ang taba mo! And there it goes, my day is spoiled.

Thanks for the honesty, but I would have appreciated it if we were close buddies. Unfortunately, you seem to have crossed the border. Plus the fact that my hormones are probably playing on me. Today. This morning!

Finally, I am reminded of this quote, Kindness, like a boomerang, always returns. Don’t worry classmate, once my head cools off — you’ll be removed from the blocked list. :-)
