Acts of kindness

Into my second hour of CNN yesterday (yeah, Mike -- still a junkie)
there was an article about a college prof. who was fed up with
continuous news reports about 'random acts of senseless violence', so
he assigned his class to go out and commit 'random acts of senseless
KINDNESS'. They didn't know how to do it! My son, helping with the
Thanksgiving cleanup, a MAN'S job in my kitchen, remarked: "Isn't
that what we're supposed to do as scouts anyway?" Yes, it is. A
daily act of random kindness. The tv students all remarked how
surprised people were and how good it made THEM feel. Maybe that's
why BP made such a big deal of it. As this season progresses, may
we all be perpetrators and victims of random acts of senseless
kindness.
