Act of Random Kindness.
A small note on how to change the world. Now don’t think that I just saw Bruce Almighty and wanted to put it out on my blog. I have seen the movie many times but it is not the reason for this blog entry. This entry goes out to all my Theist and Atheist readers, as well as all those stuck in between.
A few days ago, I was thinking about the word “Activist”. I want to make alot of changes in the world that we live in, or more like, the world a group of us live in. Atheists.
In today’s society, Atheists are the ones who get cold stares and they are the ones that hide in closets. I tried many ways to reach out for those who don’t out themselves. But when I look at it from a few steps away from the screen, I realise that there is a whole world out there that still misjudge Atheists for something that they are not. I cannot help but just accept the fact that my life will come to an end before I see the whole world become rationally thinking people. We are an unreasonable race. We do not put away our petty differences and see the good in each other. Maybe we only see it after its too late. Maybe we see it only at the brink.
I’ve decided to test a theory. I’ve decided to get on the ARK. Act of Random Kindness. So how do I plan to change the world? By influencing the people around me, one by one, I change my world, as well as theirs. Call it Pay It Forward’s Chinese kids jumping at the same time to tilt the world from its axis or Bruce Allmighty’s coincidental defnition of ARK. I don’t mind. But please don’t tell me not to follow my heart. This is just a personal quest, not asking anyone to jump in the bandwagon. Its been brewing inside for a very long time. I’m not obsessed with a movie, please don’t get the idea. And I know this is something similar to what people do if they have been touched by something. The movie didn’t touch me at all in that sense. Sure it was funny, but it raised more questions than the answers it gave. I guess it wasn’t meant to give any answers anyway.
Its 5:30 am and I can hear the distant prayers from a mosque I cannot see from my window. I know its a mosque by the echos of prayers but I do not see it. If seeing is believing, then, we must show what we want others to know – we must not, I mean, I must not blurt it all out on a blog page or put up a video on YouTube and expect the whole world to believe in me or think about what they believe in.
From today, I’m going to try it out. I know, its not something that happens over night, it requires alot of patience and alot of selfless acts. I must retrain my mind for this, and find ways to get through people’s bubbles. I must try to not be too open or put myself in an undesirable situation. In simple words, I must not let my guards down. After all, we are all animals. And then, we are human.
Have a nice day everyone.
