Cynthia was a young girl who recently got admission to study medicine in the university but with the economic recession, there was no money to pay her school fees. She called all her relations but they all gave her one excuse or the other. She cried day and night wondering where her parents would get the money from, for they were just farmers.
One day, on her way back from selling pineapples, she was almost knocked down by a car. The driver stopped and with anger asked her if she was blind and why she tried crossing the road without looking. She apologized and began to cry. Her tears touched the heart of the man, and then he asked what the problem was. Cynthia explained everything to him, how she got admission and has been looking for money to pay her school fees which her parents couldn‟t afford the money because of the recession and she really wanted to go to school.
The man felt sorry for her. He went to his car and brought out some money and handed it over to her but she refused out of fear.
Why will a total stranger give her money? What if he wants something in return? She pondered within herself. The man noticed this and introduced himself and told her that he only wanted to help her. She took the money, appreciated the man and ran to her parents. The school fee was paid and she went to the university.
Many years later, an accident victim was rushed to a hospital. The victim was in a critical condition and a female doctor was called to perform an operation on the victim. It turns out that the doctor was young Cynthia and she recognized the victim as the man who helped her with her school fees many years ago.
She successfully performed the operation and when the man gained consciousness, he asked the nurse who was responsible for the payment of his hospital bills, then Dr Cynthia walked in. she introduced herself as the young girl he helped many years ago and told him that his act of kindness made her who she was. She took care of the bills and was really happy she had seen her helper.
We shouldn‟t give because we want something in return rather we should give because we want to be a blessing to someone. Love consists in giving without getting in return; in giving what is not owed, what is not due the other. Kindness in words creates confidence, kindness in thinking creates profoundness but kindness in giving creates LOVE. Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.
