I would love to start with the words of Dalai Lama: “This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”
The current situation is characterized by a spiritual impoverishment of the spiritual powers of man, which makes it almost impossible to moral action. Man denies given reality, transforming it into a free creative act. But where did he deny? In other words, if we use the analogy of the springboard, then that allows a person to jump, leads to jump and where he jumps, and who decide how far to jump? Springboard for itself can not cause a jump, but only one of the conditions of its possibility. That is, the existence of one does not require given reality denying it, because it is not in the animal world, but it exists in the human. Reality does not imply a project of transformation, but a man comes always dissatisfied in everything and everybody, and begins to break and build. There are always deployed vast horizons of opportunities in front of every man, to where he should decide to put oneself and choose one single path.
And the situation is further complicated by the fact that people here cannot get rid of choice at random, here is required of him the necessity of choice. The choice should not only be free and personal, but necessary. Moreover, the need for external not taken into account, a person is looking for, demands from himself if he is honest with himself, this need to be an internal. On nothing else but the internal obligation, a person does not want and cannot stop, if he seeks reasons for their actions.
Inner base of acts is - will. Act - a matter of creativity, denying, the will not only to the object, but also of the subject of the action.
Kindness is the act or the state of being kind, that can be marked by good and charitable behavior, pleasant disposition, and concern for others. It is known as a virtue, and recognized as a value in many cultures and religions. As a result of the release of neurotransmitters responsible for feelings of contentment and relaxation when such acts are committed acts of kindness benefit not only receivers of this act, and also the giver of it.

One day I was lucky enough to take part in the charity event "Give a child a toy." This campaign consisted in that we gave these kids clothes and toys, of which we have grown. Thus, our family gave part of our soul to children who do not have enough parental love.
And I would love to share one more story from my life. One day I stopped at a grocery store. It wasn't the store I normally go to, just one I passed along the way. I don’t remember why I came here, because the as I walked up to the entrance, I noticed a man and a boy who was about 12 or 14 years old standing at the front of the store. Customers walked past, as the man handed them half-sheets of white paper. I walked up to them with curiosity, wondering what cause they were representing. As I got closer, I saw that they had two carts starting to fill with groceries.
It was so curious to know what they do for me, so I said hello and the man greeted me and handed me one of the pieces of paper, explaining that they were collecting donations for the local food pantry. On the paper was a simple list of food items: peanut butter, noodles, pasta sauce, canned fruits and vegetables. It also included a short story about the boy and his efforts to collect food donations since the age of 8.
Then I decided to go through the store, picking things from the list, then brought them back out to the boy and put them in the cart. I also gave the man the white sheet of paper back to reuse for another customer.
As I went out from the shop, the boy's well-intentioned spirit stuck with me. How inspiring to encounter a young boy with a resolve to do good deeds, and the courage to act on it.
It made my day and Every day I'm more and more convinced that helping others, even to strangers, making life brighter, more joyous.
