Acts of kindness create a ripple effect of joy from "summary" of The Book of Joy by Dalai Lama,Desmond Tutu

The idea put forth is a simple but profound one: when we engage in acts of kindness, we set off a chain reaction of positive emotions that can benefit not only the recipient of our kindness but also those who witness it. It is like throwing a pebble into a pond and watching as the ripples spread far and wide, touching everything in their path. When we show kindness to others, we not only create a moment of joy for them but also for ourselves. The act of giving, of reaching out to another person in need, can bring us a sense of fulfillment and connection that is deeply rewarding. It reminds us of our common humanity, of the fact that we are all interconnected and interdependent. Moreover, acts of kindness have the power to inspire others to follow suit. When we see someone being kind, we are more likely to be kind ourselves. It is as if kindness is contagious, spreading from one person to another like a warm and comforting blanket. In this way, the ripple effect of joy created by acts of kindness can have a far-reaching impact on our world. It can help to create a more compassionate and caring society, one in which people look out for one another and strive to make the world a better place for all. So let us remember the power that we hold in our hands – the power to bring joy and light into the lives of others through simple acts of kindness. Let us be the pebble that starts the ripple, knowing that our actions have the potential to create a wave of positivity that can change the world for the better.
