The Globalisation for the Common Good Initiative (GCGI)* is happy to acknowledge and honour the World Kindness Day. A day dedicated to shifting our understanding of whom we are and the very foundations of our world and our humanity.
November 13th was World Kindness Day. It's a day where everyone looks past stereotypes and misfortunes. It's a day to perform a random act of kindness and show the world that we are all in this together. It's a day to show others that, despite the busyness in our lives, kindness, love, sincerity and the common good still exist.
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity. - The Buddha
He that seeks the good of the many seeks in consequence his own good. - St Thomas Aquinas
When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. - Abraham Lincoln
God loves a cheerful giver. - St. Paul
The purpose of World Kindness Day is to look beyond ourselves, beyond the boundaries of our country, beyond our culture, our race, our religion; and realise we are citizens of the world. As world citizens we have a commonality, and must realise that if progress is to be made in human relations and endeavours, if we are to achieve the goal of peaceful coexistence, we must focus on what we have in common. When we find likenesses we begin to experience empathy, and in such a state we can fully relate to that person or those people. While we may think of people from other cultures as being ‘different’ when we compare them with our own customs and beliefs, it doesn’t mean that we are any better than they are. When we become friends with someone from a different culture we discover that despite some obvious differences, there are many similarities.- How volunteering saved my life
