Random Acts of Kindness

According to Google there are 1.6 million web sites about "Random Acts of Kindness."

There is an article on it in Wikipedia which defines it as "a purportedly selfless act performed by a person or persons wishing to either assist or cheer up a stranger." (Notice that "purportedly." Wikipedians can't quite come to grips with someone doing something for a selfless purpose just to help others feel better or do better.)

Random Acts of Kindness so beautifully describes the Scientology Volunteer Ministers program. But the VM program does one better. Because not only do VMs help give people unconditional help, but they give them tools so they can continue to do better in life.

Have you ever felt uplifted by a caring act or gesture only to once again feel upset or depressed when that act passed and you were back in a troublesome relationship, trying to cope on an unpleasant job, back to being frustrated about not knowing how to help your son or daughter with the problems that they find insurmountable, and so on?

Check out the Scientology Handbook web site. It's the actual technology of life contained in this book that makes the difference. L. Ron Hubbard made this available in this simple format so anyone could learn it easily. That's what it's for!

What if you could help that friend or neighbor, or relative or associate with a problem such as those described above and give him or her something positive he/she could do to turn the problem around? Sure you'd feel great just helping them and so would they, but that help would continue and really make a difference. And that's what makes it such a special program, and why I feel it is such an honor to be a VM.
