Tell Us Your Good Deed

Recently, I walked out of my office building for my lunch break on a gorgeous day smiling brightly. An elderly gentleman passed by me and asked me why I was so happy. I told him I was just happy for no reason and again he asked me why. I thought about it deeply because he seemed like he genuinely wanted to know; and responded "I am just happy because I am here. We can't spend our lives waiting for the big moments to be happy otherwise we would waste most of our lives waiting for happiness". He blinked at me for a moment, gave me a huge grin and hugged me. That was the end of our conversation, but now I make it a point to smile at everyone I make eye contact with on the street.

Why are you participating?

The world needs more happiness, love and acceptance. People judge us by our looks and don't get to know us. We are much more than labels, but we are not always our covers. I hope to change someone's perspective.
