London Focuses on Spreading Acts of Kindness Far and Wide
A London program began today in an attempt to eliminate hate within the country. The 1,000 Acts of Kindness Challenge began after attacks on two gay men in the city. The London Urban Services Organization is spearheading the campaign to spread kindness instead of hate. Organized by Meredith Fraser, the program was created after she realized how powerless most people feel in stopping hate.
“These (hate) incidents impact people’s lives daily,” Fraser said.
“Kindness spreads just as easily as hatred does.”
The simple idea is to perform random acts of kindness and focus on what we can all do to help others. Looking at what we can do as opposed to what we can’t do is the key to the already successful campaign. A site is being launched today where participants can register, keep track of their acts of kindness, and see a tabulation of the events at the end of the month.
The point is that being nice to someone can brighten both people’s days, and it doesn’t take much work, Fraser said.
“It doesn’t take a herculean effort to be kind” she said. “It’s free, and anyone can do it.”
