I was walking around the other night it was 4/20 and I was going to go get some food when I saw a car with the interior light on. they had forgotten to close their door fully and their battery was going to die if the light was left on all night. My friend laughed and said "haha someone's high! They're going to be sad tomorrow!" and we walked past. After about a second I turned around and booty bumped the door, causing the door to close and the light to go off. I was thinking how simple and small a random act of kindness can be. It was such a small gesture but I saved the owner of that car a lot of time and energy of getting jumper cables and someone willing to help them jump their car after their battery had died. I thought about how many times we see small things like the light on in someones car and do nothing to help them out even though it's completely in our power to. This may seem like such a small act but I know that if the owner of the car had known that someone had done that for them, instead of walking by and laughing at someone else's forgetfulness, they would have been grateful. Sometimes the nicest things we can do for strangers are tiny and take little effort but the effect that they have is much larger. I think that no grand gestures need to be taken to brighten someone's day or just make someone else's life easier and those are the acts of kindness and beauty that people everywhere should try to implement into their daily lives.
