A man playing his violin to a child on a train… who can say what benefits will come from this? Will the child remember such a kindness? Will it form an impression that remains with them for life, adding color and depth, even though they don’t quite remember the event?

How will it affect all the observers on the train car? Or those who just see the image?

The truth is that we don’t know how our loving actions will spread in the world and affect people over the distances of space and time.

But we do know that these decisions and actions spread goodness in the world. And we undertake them for that reason, even though we can’t know what the results will be.

Before going back to the mundane, please take a moment to strengthen your faith in doing good. Believe in things that are impossible to see at present, and in results that you may never see. Believe that injecting good into the world matters.
