Random Acts of Kindness

I'm sure we've all heard of the  dangerous drinking game that is damaging foolish young people around the world right now.  They binge drink until they are acting stupid then nominate others, by name in some cases, to do the same.   Sadly, they are not only damaging their health but reputations as well by posting it for the world to see.  Boasting about stupidity is a strange thing to do, I'd think.

However, it is wonderful to see that some of the more intelligent young people have developed another game.  It started in South Africa by a man who refused to play.  Instead he performed a random act of kindness then nominated  others to do the same and post it as well.

In Victoria, Spectrum School students have responded.  They are giving their time and spending their own money to perform random acts of kindness.  Happily it is spreading just like the flowers in the photo!

I like to think these are the people who will be looking after our future  and I send my thanks to them for making the world "a nicer place"  to live.
