Kindness When No One Is Watching

I stood there for a second longer, and in that second, I realized something. Kindness is not

about big actions. It's about what you do when no one is watching, when there's nothing

to gain. So I stopped. I helped. I didn't wait for thanks,

and then I walked away. Nothing magical happened. The world didn't

change instantly, but something inside me did. I felt lighter, calmer,

more human. Maybe the person I helped forgot my face. That's okay,

because I will remember how it felt to choose kindness instead of convenience. The world doesn't

need more noise. It needs more quiet kindness.
