When bad things happen the usual reaction is revenge or transfer of aggression *cough* legal action *cough* defamation *cough* Korean novels We could learn a lot from this dad https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-49676213 Something a random act of kindness is the best response. Dont be so salty even if you have 100 and lots of love
Yes, sometimes an act of kindness is the best response. But let's be realistic, sometimes you just need to punch an asshole in the throat.
^^^ Yup... the guy said so himself: "Some people had said my actions had restored some faith in humanity for them, but I didn't do it for that." "I did it for Hannah."
Why the throat? They could sue you for that. Law is blind [1], hence, you're wrong to punch a person's throat unless it's for self defense. The better approach would be... stalk them, knock them out, and slowly torture out their private information from them, and threaten them in humiliating positions. Of course, only if you're that determined of a person. As they said, law is blind, hence, do your magic where law is blind [2].
IRL, yes. But if I wanted to see ordinary stuff I'd just carry on living my life Jokes aside, ignoring wrongdoing is usually the worst thing you can do, whether it's bullying at school, people being sh*tty in day-to-day life, etc. They'll just go on to make someone else's life worse. It's better to report it (at the very least) if it's something serious. There are certain situations where ignoring people is the best decision, but those are rare, and it's good to make a habit of sticking up for yourself when someone crosses your moral bottom line.
Lots of cynics on here, huh? I personally didnt bother to read the entire article, it was obviouslya fluff piece. My point is not the intention but the action. You could react with negative actions or with positive actions. Being a good person is difficult because kindness is actually hard. We are told to love our enemies. We might actually hate them in our hearts but our actions should show otherwise
Ok... but if you want to discuss the topic of a "stranger's kindness", there was this coffee shop near one campus that I frequented that had this point card system. Every cup of coffee earned you 1 point and 20 points would give an extra free cup. But the catch was that there's a blank space on the back of the point card and you could write a note and post it into a corkboard to donate your cup to someone who fulfilled the description. "To someone who had to pull an all-nighter" "Please try the medium roast blend from XXX, it's my favorite" "I finally got full points, I wanna share this joy" Those were everyday notes from real people that made me smile. I never took any of the cards but I would take my time trying to read them with my broken Japanese for my own self-satisfaction too. It's easier to react better and pay forward kindness when it sprouts from hope or love (even in a situation like mourning) but when you're actually emotionally drained or hurt from injustice, violence or depression... really... I don't think that has anything to do with being "good" or "bad".
LMAO this reminds me of a quote: "Nobody here asked for your opinion and nobody here asked you to be born." I always thought...well, maybe my parents?
Yes, you should always stick up for yourselfe and help others when they need it. The times when you can ignore something is when it's done towards yourselfe and you know it's better to ignore it than to actualy make any reaction (bullys are people you often can ignore).
True. Morally, legally, and ethically a punch like that might not be outside of self-defense but many people do deserve a good hit!
I saw this news couple of weeks ago, had a good laugh. I don't know if he is stupid or clever enough to gain good publicity. Well, stranger and stranger things are going to pop up.
I dont think BBC will ever show a positive news about India. Can you point me to some positive news? eg SRK starring in a movie and letting a younger actor romance the female lead who is 30 years younger than him? lol
He will try that till he's 70 and his die hard fans will keep asking for more, despite all films flopping.
Big B was doing it with Sridevi. It got old fast but we will see. I haven't seen any Indian movie that I enjoyed recently. R..Raj Kumar with Shahid Kapur was the last I enjoyed. Recent films are too edgy and dark for my taste. Why is Ajay Devgn, Kajol's husband so popular? I might dislike him simply because I am a big Kajol fan lol
It got old for SRK too, his films haven't been working for last 6 years. I haven't watched his films in a decade. I watched only 4 or 5 Indian films during the last couple of years. Good films either flop or are under the radar. Generic masala films get very popular and Ajay's movies are mainly those.
