An Article, a Limerick and a Haiku
As human beings, we all have an innate desire to do good in the world. Whether it’s helping a stranger in need, volunteering at a local charity, or simply spreading kindness and positivity wherever we go, the act of doing good is deeply satisfying and fulfilling.
In fact, as the quote by Thomas Jefferson suggests, there is no greater bliss than looking back on a life spent in usefulness and doing good to those around us. When we reflect on the positive impact we’ve had on others, it brings a sense of joy and purpose that is hard to replicate in any other way.
So how can we live a life of usefulness and do good to those around us? Here are a few ideas:
- Start with small acts of kindness: You don’t have to perform grand gestures or donate large sums of money to make a difference in someone’s life. Sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness can have the biggest impact. Smile at a stranger, hold the door open for someone, or simply offer a word of encouragement to a friend who’s going through a tough time.
- Volunteer your time and skills: There are countless organizations and charities that are in need of volunteers to help them achieve their mission. Whether you have a particular skill set that you can offer, or simply want to lend a helping hand, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
- Live by example: One of the most powerful ways to do good to those around us is simply by living our lives in a positive and inspiring way. Be kind to others, follow your passions, and pursue your goals with passion and determination. By doing so, you will inspire others to do the same and create a ripple effect of positivity and goodness.
And now, to add a bit of humor to this article, here’s a limerick:
There once was a man with a plan To do good whenever he can With a smile and a wave He brightened each day And brought joy to every woman and man
And finally, a haiku with a moral:
Do good to others Find joy in their happiness Bliss is in service
In conclusion, living a life of usefulness and doing good to those around us is a noble pursuit that brings joy, fulfillment, and purpose to our lives. By starting with small acts of kindness, volunteering our time and skills, and living by example, we can make a positive impact on the world and create a legacy that we can be proud of. So go forth and do good, my friends, and find your own greater bliss!
