Sincerity in Actions
Everyone appreciates some kindness and caring at certain points in their lives. And some may need help in certain situations in life.
I’m the sort where if I tell you I’m facing a problem, I won’t directly ask for your help (unless I’m really desperate). I work on the understanding that if you care enough and you’re sincere enough to want to help, you would offer. And this offer would mean the world, because it’s from the heart. Because to me, if you need to be told what to do in these situations, then the offer wouldn’t be from the heart, thus would seem less sincere. Actually, even sparing a thought by asking how I’m doing or how my situation is faring would suffice, coz I would most likely decline an offer to help if I can resolve it myself. But just by you asking me how things are, shows me that you care.
I’ve a good friend who’s really good at this. Whenever he hears that I’m not well, he’d call to check how I am and ask if there’s anything I need. And I’m still amazed and touched by his thoughtfulness each time he does. I’m ashamed to admit that I’m not as diligent as he is to do this, but because of him, I’m motivated to remind myself to be a bit more thoughtful, and hopefully making some progress to being a better friend and ultimately, a better person.
I shall let my family and friends tell you about me. These comments may be rather old but I think the gist of them still hold
