These are, the seemingly, unimportant acts of kindness that these individuals showed toward their local communities, and those around them who are, in need, but it all adds up to something major, no acts of kindness is too small! Translated…
My neighbor, Mr. Chang and his wife, are both over seventy, whenever the weather's good enough, they'd, gone out, with the long tongs in one hand, plastic bags in their other hands, followed the sidewalk around our local community, and started, picking up the disposed of garbage, the plastic cups, the cigarette boxes, the used masks, the broken glass containers that may injure someone, they'd seen as eyesores, and, once they'd discovered these things, in a jiffy, they'd, picked them all, up.
I'd commended them on their goodwill, helping us to keep our living community neat and tidy, but they'd told me, "it's no big deal, it a way to get the exercises we needed, in." but, is it, something, small? After Mr. Chang retired from his job as a mail carrier, he'd started involving in the above-described "exercise routine", his wife and his means to keep the environment cleanly, isn't a best form of present for the earth?
There's a relative of mine, M who lives in Miaoli, later, as he'd come of age, he'd started a business, and a family, living in Sinchuang. Every time he'd come back home, he'd handed me an envelope, with two, to three thousand dollars, hoped that I could, donate the amount to the students in need on his behalf.
Such kindness and good will, he is an employee of a factory, moved away out of his hometown, but still wanted to do what he can, to take care of the younger children back here. Although the donations he'd made were in huge sums, but, the children who are living in poverty, because of the money, they got their hot breakfasts provided, and for those students who couldn't afford the graduation trips, with his donation, they got to go, and now, as M entered into his elderly years, he'd continued giving back, using his actions, he's telling the world, that everybody can help somebody.
And, these are, only a few examples from the writer's immediately living environments, you don't have to go ALL out to give back to the communities you are living in, you only need to pay a little extra attention, to see what you can do, to make your local areas better, picking up that piece of trash lying on the pavements, that's a way, and although, it's such a tiny act, it still counts. No kindness is too small to get noted, and besides, all the tiny acts of kindness, add up into, something MAJOR.
