It was hard to decide the title for this heartfelt story of kindness captured by the lens.
What could be the best title?
The Language of Kindness: A Story of Innocence; Tale of Two Hearts; The Heartfelt Act of Sharing; The Gift of Giving; Kids Sharing a Meal and Companionship; A Story of Kindness; or?
In a world often filled with self-interest, divisions, and conflicts, there exists a language that surpasses all boundaries, brings people together, and unites hearts, and that language is called the act of kindness. This timeless reality & story of kindness exquisitely shown in this moving picture taken in the home of one of the people from a small village, where dusty winds pass through the humble homes, holding the murmurs of unsaid tales and giggling, which reverberates like a tune. This picture, revealing a story of kindness, simplicity, and purity, deeply affects the spirit of every eye.
In this picture, two children from deprived backgrounds, stripped of the luxuries of life, wearing tatty clothes, sitting on the floor, with one feeding the other with his own hands demonstrating an act of extreme generosity, their selflessness, empathy, and compassion eradicating the ideas of classes, cultures, and religious convictions. This picture of kids sharing a meal makes us think of the innate kindness that everyone has within oneself has no limits and thrives in an environment free from discrimination. It is a happiness that derives from the honest act of sharing with a heart open to receiving, one that is uninhibited by financial prosperity or social standing.
After clicking the incredible photo of the companionship of two kids. I was excited and curious to learn about the feelings of small children who fed each other with love and care, demonstrating a great sense of fulfilment to the eyes. The response I received from those young children was not what I had anticipated; it was ambiguous, naive, and straightforward, and they seemed unconcerned with any feelings or ulterior motives other than the self-centred behaviour we observe in this two-faced world.
The little one just answered, “Gave him a bite of what I was having,” with a straight face, in a very naive and thoughtless manner; as though there were no answers to the questions I posed to them. I smiled, thinking that this was truly a selfless effort by children who had no idea how much they had impacted me or any other who would have watched them, and the act would surely give a smile to anyone’s face watching it and have taught the world the meaning of kindness and millions of emotions that adults and wiser ones could never fully comprehend.
Perhaps what they did was only a reflection of their parents or family, who share food with their members while having food together or feed their children’s when they are all sitting together while having a meal.
I had fun taking pictures of the sweet, naive children lounging on the ground and savouring their meal and companionship. The two young children’s actions speak a thousand volumes. Furthermore, the audience or the world can apply the deed of compassion to themselves from this story of kindness.
Taking inspiration from this visual narrative of connectivity, equality, and compassion across barriers despite all the struggles and adversities that everyone faces in their lives, let us embrace all the diversity that makes our planet a better place to live by reaching out to those around us with open arms, being kind of each other, raising the level of humanity, and being compassionate, empathetic, kind, and non-judgmental.
