13th of November – World Kindness Day

A very good tradition for many countries has become the annual celebration of World Kindness Day on November 13, the date for which was the opening day in 1998 in Tokyo of the 1st conference of the World Kindness Movement. This event was attended by representatives from Australia, Canada, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Great Britain, and the USA (later other countries joined the Movement).

The organization "World Kindness Movement" itself was created in Japan a year earlier, in 1997, and brought together like-minded kindness movement people from different countries - volunteers and volunteers, who from year to year work tirelessly around the world in their own affairs inspire people to do good deeds. Today everyone who wants to do a kind, sincere, the noble deed can join them. Moreover, the main communication of the members of the Movement takes place through the Internet, where on their resources they talk about the ideas of good deeds and the ways of their implementation.

The Movement has its own official document, the Declaration of Kindness, which reads: “We recognize the fundamental importance of simple human kindness as the basic condition for a satisfying and meaningful life, and with this document, we proclaim the creation of the World Kindness Movement. We will strive to unite through organizations in each country and through the creation of a worldwide network and create a kinder and more empathetic world. ”

Another goal of World Kindness Day, according to its founders, is to help unite different nations, despite linguistic and cultural differences. Indeed, only on the basis of sincerely good deeds and actions can unity and mutual understanding be achieved while maintaining originality and uniqueness.

Doing good deeds is incredibly simple, good is not measured by money, sometimes it does not take much time and effort, the main thing is to start. Even just a kind smile to a stranger is already capable of working miracles, including for the person himself who does this Good. Indeed, in addition to the fact that good deeds raise everyone's mood, they also have the best possible effect on well-being, increase vitality.

According to a study by psychologists and doctors from different countries, people who do good deeds on a daily basis feel better physically, feel their life more harmonious, have better immunity, which means they get sick less and live longer. All this is even confirmed by practical research - when a person does something good to other people, his lymphocyte level rises, and blood vessels dilate, this leads to the correct functioning of the heart; The brain produces large amounts of endorphins (known as "pleasure hormones") that have a calming effect, neutralize the effects of stress, and relieve depression. Finally, responsiveness is accompanied by uplifting, bordering on euphoria, due to the production of the hormone serotonin, which regulates our mood.

Moreover, as the organizers of the holiday call, it is important to be kind and disinterested not only on this Day but also every day and without limits. After all, if you expect gratitude (in any of its manifestations) for your kindness, then this is no longer real Kindness.

By the way, the holiday itself has developed its own traditions during its existence. So, on the Day of Kindness, in addition to kind smiles and deeds, it is customary to give flowers to friends and strangers (for example, in Singapore - daisies and gerberas), and especially for this Day, the French artist Aurele created a symbol - an open heart.
