Flipping through a magazine with pages dedicated to a handful of good citizens who were brave enough to slide out of their comfort life and dedicated their whole being for a higher cause...who believe in Joy of Giving, I realised how ugly the models posing for a cloths brand or a fairness cream seemed comparatively. Beauty is truly skin deep.
It got me thinking, why we can’t plan our weekends off work doing something for not-so-privileged. May be a visit to an orphanage or an old age home or may be volunteer helping people in need and make a small but a long term contribution. We spend countless hours on what movie to watch or which place to eat or where to go for a vacation. We spend loads on trivial selfish pursuits, why not do something for someone in need and get the unspoken satisfaction that we hope to achieve at any other place.
We do not take seconds calling a friend to tell him/her about a sale in town, but never to talk about finding a place to donate our old but good to use clothes.
My heart goes out to those who, in some way, no matter how small, make this world a better place to live.
Lets be the change we want to see!
