Everyone might be a kind person but besides to our families and friends we don’t often practice kindness We work on being kind to our families our friends and hopefully ourselves but being kind to a complete stranger is odd
Back in September of 2018 I decided that I wanted to invite complete strangers over for dinner for National Day On September 30 I went to People Square Park and began my quest I was definitely nervous but kept reminding myself that the worst that could happen was that Id get a bunch of noes The world wouldn’t stop spinning I wouldn’t lose a limb (肢臂) Id simply gets a no and that would be it
Out of around 50 people that I asked over 20 said yes and gave me their phone numbers Later that day I texted every single one of them Fourteen didn’t reply Six said they couldn’t make it Two confirmed (and one of them was bringing his roommate making it three definite yeses)
Well I was a little disappointed as I expected more people to reply but I couldn’t complain It’s always easier to say yes in person and then refuse someone via text Nevertheless I wanted to try and get a few more people I went on Integral and started looking through my Integral followers
I found a couple of people who were in their mid20s seemed sweet and lived near my home I directly messaged them and hoped for the best One said she couldn’t make it Three people confirmed Perhaps this wasn’t going to be a failed mission after all—six people were coming over Oh and one cute pup too as one of the girls whom I approached at People Square Park was bringing her dog

Paragraph 1:
Finally the day came Anxious but excited I spent the whole day cleaning the house and preparing the food With everything ready all guests arrived one by one Within the next two hours I had six complete strangers laughing eating and drinking at my apartment Music was playing the conversation was flowing and new friendships were being formed It was incredible One of the people whom I messaged on Integral told me this was one of the most fun experiences he’d ever had All enveloped in a curtain of darkness it was time to say goodbye
Paragraph 2:
When everyone had left I sat down and processed what had just happened I couldn’t believe that 48 hours before I didn’t know any of these people but later we were all laughing and talking like wed always been friends It was a really enjoyable and unforgettable experience for me It also made me realize that doing something kind for strangers isn’t awkward but meaningful Whether its paying it forward with a cup of coffee or simply smiling at a stranger random acts of kindness do make the world a little better
