    You're all good khunts!

    Unlike the video which is all acting, I'm sure you've all done your own genuine little [and some big ones too, I suppose, like donating a kidney to a family member or some such] selfless acts without fanfare or recognition, no knighthood, or handshake from the PM...

    Little acts of kindness I've experienced in the past:
    1. Car broke down and 5 different people stopped and asked if I needed help, to use their mobile or home phone to call for assistance
    2. Numerous drivers kindly allowing me to join in the flow of traffic
    3. A kind person letting me ahead in the Q at the supermarket who saw I only had two items
    4. A stranger walking past saw my car lights had been left on and knocked on my door to let me know
    5. A stranger walking past saw my garage door had been left open and knocked on my door to let me know
    6. Four families had left me cooked meals during the time my wife was hospitalised
    7. One time my bike fell over and pinned me down, a kind sir stopped and helped me lift it up
    8. Numerous KBers who lent a hand, offered golden advice, or passed stuff I needed on to me

    I'm sure you've all done your share, so good on you and thanks for restoring faith in humanity...

    I've done 3 and 4. I could be more selfless, more kind to others. I'm far too selfish IMO
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    I wind the window down sometimes.
    Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.

    I see good stuff happening everyday. Mind you I usually am looking for it, much better to see the good in life. If you want to see all the bad shit, thats out there too.It,s like riding a bike or car, look where you want to go, not where you dont.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Was it a heavy bike that you couldn't lift off yourself?

    At my stag doo recently, I dropped my wallet at the golf course. Someone handed it in and they rig the bank to let me know. (Not that westpac did).

    Moocho good Will to the strangerthat did so.

    240kgs on top of my ankle on a decline... Yes, it was a bit heavy to lift by myself.

    EVERY night's good for a piss up! If there were more people around, we'd have all been holding hands in a circle singing kumbaya...
