Be a Do Gooder

So you’ve noticed that the world could use a little more kindness. So have we! Surfing at ANH Global website (Alliance for New Humanity) we found out about Daily Challenge.

Daily Challenge is a social network, but more importantly, it is an answer to something missing in the world. Daily Challenge suggests acts or ‘challenges’ that members can take into the real world to positively impact themselves and their communities.
The concept behind Daily Challenge is very simple: Do one good, daily. We believe that when many people perform random acts of kindness on a daily basis, lives change: those of the participants, their communities and in time, it’ll be felt across the globe.

The Alliance for New Humanity, represented by Deepak Chopra, one of the world’s greatest leaders in the field of mind-body medicine, face the mission to connect people, who, through personal and social transformation, aim to build a just, peaceful, and sustainable world, reflecting the unity of all humanity.

this is a nice idea, one good deed a day.
but IMO this whole 'social agency' thing is not enough in itself. it lacks depth, critical thinking. it's quite esay to go around greeting one random person on the street every other day, or turning off the lights when you leave a room, at least for one day... but if we don't think of the reasons why we do it, if we don't go beyond the deed -- for instance, start actually seeing the people on the streets, acquainting their existence, understanding they're just as 'real' as ourselves, and feeling annoyed by the fact that we're drifting more and more apart from each other every day... and THEN greet not just one random person, but act and live in a way that will help put an end to all indifference in the world today-- this whole thing might lead into just being politically/ ecologicaly correct, or playing it cool. so, 'being a do gooder' is certainly a good start! but that alone should not be all.
and we should start thinking of who we are. are we heroes, rescuers of the world? or are we the world itself? from which of these perspectives do we choose to go through life?
