INTRO

Hey there.

First, here's a dope video:

I have been going through something of an existential slump recently, and when I was reading through this thread on FFR about social anxiety, this post really got to me:

I have a checklist everyday, sometimes filled with tons of things to do, yet sometimes the list is one thing, and one thing only.

1) Make someone smile

If the entire day ends up being miserable, as long as I get to somehow improve atleast one person's day just for a split second, and make them feel slight enjoyment really makes life for me worth living.

It's a very interesting thought that the smallest act of kindness can turn a day--or maybe even a life--around, and I've decided to stop thinking about it and try putting it into practice. Starting tomorrow (Monday, September 24), I will try and do one random act of kindness for a stranger.

This thread is for suggestions/people who would like to join. I will do my best to update it daily with my progress.

1. Bring popcorn for a friend
2. Buy a cool drink for somebody
3. Leave a note of encouragement in somebody's bag

Re: The Niceness Brigade

We should always be kind to people. Our society see's the worst in people, and just tries to bring each other down. No one cares that it could be just a bad day for them.

What I'm trying to get at is no one looks at a person from that persons shoes, we all look at them from ours.

Or we can all accept that nobody's perfect and stop pointing out "negative" sides of a person
Being mad and punching someone in the teeth is a perfectly human response

What the hell, I'll see what I can pull together while I'm at school tomorrow. It doesn't hurt to make people happy.

Re: The Niceness Brigade

I usually try to do nice things for people, but sometimes people look at you like you're some sorta weirdo or something lol. That's how odd kindness is to people I guess.

I'm a delivery driver, I make people happy all the time.

I just smile a lot, and always super nice and polite, lots of have a great evenings escape my mouth. I tend to ask people how they are doing, which kinda kills me because I never worry about myself.

Re: The Niceness Brigade

Day 1

First, I technically broke my own rule today, as nobody could know that I was doing anything.

We have midterms in two days, and as usual, everybody is stressed out. One friend of mine posted on Facebook that she was really craving popcorn (even though she's trying to eat healthier these days), so I made a mental note and prepped this bag/note before I went to bed Sunday night:



Figuring out a way to get it to her without her knowing that it was me was difficult, so I got a friend of mine to distract her while I threw it into her locker and duck-crawled out of the classroom. Unfortunately, the jig was up since I forgot to tell him not to tell her who I was.

Still felt very fuzzy inside, though, and it was a bright spot in what was otherwise a dread-filled day. Next time, I'll try to be more sneaky

Day 2: I don't go to school tomorrow, so it should be a little easier. Still thinking of something to do, but I have a little time!

I was walking down the hill from school this afternoon and heard two friends greet each other by calling each other...idiots (actually, it was probably a worse word, but I don't know how to translate it). What you pointed out is actually really severe in Korea; people don't trust each other to the point where a kind of blunt hostility has become the norm even among comrades. It's a little sad to see.

I honestly envy you--I would love to try out a job in the food/service industry in the future. It must be interesting to meet all these people, hahaa.
