Moral Of The Story: Wine Drinkers Are REALLY Kind-hearted!

 

Sharing this EN TOTO from Quora.com [Alex Writes]:  The Helsinki-Toronto flight was carrying 400 passengers and only 200 lunches. The airline made a mistake, and the crew found themselves in a difficult situation. However, one quick-witted flight attendant had an idea. About 30 minutes after takeoff, she announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how this could have happened, but we have 400 passengers on board and only 200 lunches." "Anyone kind enough to give up their meal for someone else will receive unlimited free wine for the entire flight." Their next announcement came 6 hours later: "Ladies and gentlemen, if anyone wants to change their mind, we still have 200 lunches available!"💦💦💦

As we titled our blog today, Moral Of The Story:  Wine Drinkers Are REALLY Kind-hearted!  Seriously though, this speaks volumes WHEN heartedness and KINDNESS itself kicks.  A month ago when I drove twelve hours from the metro to my province, after swooping down local products WHICH were scarce [and 3 to 5 times more expensive in the metro area, we just road the 3-wheeled trike [for obvious reasons].  On the way back to the hotel, I asked the trike driver, HOW much will he charge and he replied 50 bucks.  WHEN I alighted at the hotel, I repeated the same question, and WHEN he said 50 bucks, I gave him a 100 bucks [and suddenly, he grabbed my hands with gratefulness]😀😀😀

NOW, here's another day-to-day mix-up we sometimes misconstrue.  That's WHEN we often mistake 'NICE' for being 'KIND' WHEN there is world of difference between them.  Because being NICE is quite easy to manifest, a social gesture WHICH we often manifest out of politeness.  BUT to invoke being genuinely KIND, that's a wholly different ball game, dude.  Because it's about empathy, selflessness and geniune care for others. NOT to be nitpicking, HOW can we feel and experience a genuinely KIND soul???

A bit of KINDNESS 101.  As KINDNESS goes beyond just being polite, polite people follow social norms and even etiquette.  And HOW about KIND souls?  YES, they go the XTRA mile.  Genuinely KIND people DON'T just say THANK YOU or PLEASE.  Instead, they genuinely care about the well-being of others and show empathy.  YES, they would strive to understand WHAT others are going through and help in any way they can.  YES, WHAT may NOT be so obvious on the surface is that genuinely KIND people often make sacrifices for others NOT because they expect something in return BUT because it is in their nature to be compassionate and that considerate.  Oh YES, listening from psychologists, KIND souls are always LEARNING, LEARNING about others, LEARNING how to help, LEARNING HOW to change their own lives in order to better serve those around them [p.s. I'm NOT referring to tradpols [traditional politicians], ouch]!@#%?

Our takeaway:  Before our readership will get me wrong, being KIND is NOT always about those grand gestures OR even financial aid.  Sometimes, it can be as simple as giving your time.  In this frenzied world WHERE we live in, we're constantly busy [even for reasons we CAN'T fathom] BUT for now, can we take a pause and consider giving even just a fraction of our time to someone WHO needs it the most as it can be one of the most valuable things you can offer sans the pecuniary OR financial considerations.  YES, let's look back at that Helsinki-Toronto flight, short of 200 packed meals, ending with an extra 200, all because the WINE DRINKERs are really kind-hearted [at least in that flight]💚💛💜
