Have you come across this website www.helpothers.org ?
It is an experiment in kindness and I like to do my part to spread the word. In fact, to go further and be more precise, it is an experiment in ANONYMOUS kindness. Sounds cool right? It *is* cool.
Let me quote verbatim from the website:
"It's a universally recognized symbol: smile. Sometimes you smile because you're happy and sometimes you smile to get happy. The purpose of our effort is to bring more of those smiles in the world through small acts of kindness. To that end, we feature a fun SmileCard game, kindness stories from around the world, and SmileGroups where people commit to a daily act of kindness in their local community."
So what they are encouraging is that you do someone a kindness quietly, and slip him a "card" to let him know that he is "tagged". It is the hope that he will pass on the kindness too.
So what exactly is this "card"? Well, see the embedded picture? This card can be ordered in batches FREE. This is no scam and the cards are funded by donations.
I have ordered these cards before and they arrive quite quickly. I forked out not a single cent - yes, not even for shipping!
So here's the challenge. Go to the website and order your batch of free SMILE cards today, do someone a kind deed, and then tag him with one of the SMILE cards. And if you want to help spread the word too, give this article a digg. ;-)
