America is full of conveniences and fast food yet were starving. There are many countries that harbor starving citizens, and America is no exception. It would appear that the whole world is starving, but not only for food. There is such a lack of kindness or acts for the common good, that when it occurs it either seems out of place or people clamor to witness it. We think we want fame, food, and riches, but what we need is more love. We may be at the top of the food chain or consider ourselves highly evolved but were actually quite simple. If you took away all the distractions and noise of social media, advertising, and mass consumerism, We really only need basic things. Amid all the hustle and bustle for what we think we want we’ve forgotten the most important thing, each other. In losing consideration for our fellow man we also lose ourselves. Perhaps many won’t understand this, unless they’ve been in need of help themselves. When we’re selfish it doesn’t benefit us but actually harms us. In nature, it’s been shown that when a member of the animal kingdom is selfish, they actually lower their ability to survive. It seems fit to argue then, that when people are selfish they don’t flourish. Indeed it’s when we help each other that society as a whole gains. In a city of millions, it’s not a popular web series that goes viral, but an act of kindness. Below, you too will witness the results of a person choosing to be selfless rather then selfish.

I know many starving artists(or actors) that would kill for the number of views this video received. Yet they’re not the ones getting all the attention, instead a simple act of human kindness is taking the cake. Clearly, we desire more then entertainment, but to have a real human connection. Therefore, don’t be afraid to let down your walls and extend a helping hand!
