As we’ve creeped into the 21st century, with all our technological advances and vast knowledge, the human factor inside us has diminished at a similar rate.
But why not just label it as trivial? Why consider it a pressing issue? The answer lies in the essence of humanity; the powerful force that sets us apart from the other living beings; and to deny the concept of humanity is to deny your very own existence, it is to deny the very ideals that our form was founded on.
And why deny this beautiful concept? The idea of exerting yourself for someone else without any vested interest is what sets us apart. Among the various acts of kindness that we can perform, lay the most simple and seemingly insignificant acts that may mean a lot to people who are not used to such behaviour. These may include, but are not limited to: speaking kindly to the janitorial staff, giving food to children living on the streets, smiling at the security guard while entering the university, holding a door for someone (preferably chanting ‘Hodor’ simultaneously) and so on.
Imagine you help an elderly woman cross the road and she passes you the most genuine smile you’ve ever seen. Wouldn’t you feel a rush, a breeze gliding through your face leaving a peculiarly complacent smile on it? Wouldn’t you feel whole?
These little acts may be so significant in achieving self-redemption or just to experience those waves of satisfaction.
What exactly is Project Ehsaas?
This November, we are delving deep to ponder what defines us as humans. We’ll be figuring out the cost of bringing a smile to someone’s face. At NCSC, this month is dedicated to doing those little acts of kindness which make life a bit more worthwhile. But now we’re taking it up a notch by launching a project dedicated just to this.
To reinvigorate this spirit, NCSC presents its brand new project Ehsaas. Ehsaas will explore the avenues of doing those little acts of kindness which which make the world a better place. Join us in this noble cause, find yourself, and give meaning to your life.
