ARK à Act of Random Kindness:
Last lazy Sunday I was watching the movie Evan Almighty… It’s not a new movie, been released in 2007, but it had all sort of animals so my son wanted to watch it.
I started watching it with no specific interest and then the fun started.
God (Morgan Freeman) contacts Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) and tells him to build an ark in preparation for a great flood. It’s an amazing movie made by two of my very favorite actors…. It’s a simple movie, where God asks (rather Forces) Evan to make the Ark which in turn saves the neighborhood. My son enjoyed it due to all the animals and I enjoyed it for the message.
What struck me is the end when God (Morgan Freeman), describes the meaning of the Ark used to save,
A à Act of
R à Random
K à Kindness
What a beautiful message in a comic movie with no major impact. I’m sure the movie passed without any awards or even recognition, But the message must not be let to pass. Why not have an ARK – Act of Random Kindness every-day.
And the ARK need not be major; it could be as simple as:
· A smile to someone who works with you regularly
· A compliment to someone
· A good work completed diligently
· Providing way for someone who is getting late
· Helping someone stuck in work
· Helping Out at Blossom
And I’m sure this small Acts of Kindness à ARKs will go a long way in making this world a better place to be in J
