When was the last time that you were kind to someone? I think there is nothing as rewarding as kindness. Empathy, compassion and kindness goes a long way.

Treat others the way you want to be treated. If you shout, scream, criticize and demean others, don’t be surprised when no one is interested in being with you or listening to you. Anger, stress and worry escalates ageing whereas being kind gives you mental peace and de- accelerates the process. Spread love and humanity.

Today I will tell you a story from Aesop fables, which you must have heard when you were young.

The Lion and the Mouse

A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying:

“If you would spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness.”

The Lion laughed, but let him go. Shortly after this the Lion was caught by some hunters,
who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free.

The Moral of the story is No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted .
