I just went mad.
I bought a total of
4 watches,
4 ear rings,
4 pendants,
2 hair clips,
1 hair band,
1 bracelet.
Life becomes meaningful
when you give.
But giving in material things
is a poor substitute,
for giving time,
giving yourself.
There is no better gift
than time.
Money when spent
can be earned back.
Time when wasted,
can never be regained.
A minute doing nothing
is a minute gone forever,
you can never ever
get that minute back.
We always think
we have to do some heroic act
go help the poor and hungry
in some African state.
Generosity
need not go very far.
When you are being served
by a stressed out
and poorly paid waitress,
who might be
some poor foreign student
trying to make ends meet
whilst doing her studies,
a kind smile
and some understanding,
can help her so much.
We may not have given her
much of our time
nor money,
but we have given
some kindness.
In doing so,
we gave ourselves
and helped her
made her life
a little bit better,
even just for
10 seconds
