Orthodox Christianity<br />

Kindness is Meant to Be<br />

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”<br />

That is the moral of one of Aesop’s Fables, “The Lion and<br />

the Mouse.” Recall that in the story, a mouse accidentally<br />

wakes a lion, who threatens to kill the small creature. The<br />

mouse asks for mercy, and points out that killing such<br />

unworthy prey would bring the lion no honor. The lion relents<br />

and sets the mouse free. On his way out, the mouse<br />

promises that one day he will return the favor — the lion<br />

laughs in scorn at such a prospect.<br />

Later, the lion is netted by hunters. When the mouse<br />

hears the lion roar in frustration, he gnaws through the<br />

net and sets the lion free — fulfilling his earlier promise.<br />

by Fr Jonathan Tobias, MDiv, MSEd<br />

Be generous with your kindness, “freely give” your courtesy<br />

and your love. In the ancient wisdom of the Orthodox<br />

Church, there is a joyful certainty that God created<br />

humanity for love, beauty and peace. Violence, anger and<br />

hatred are unnatural realities that should be gotten rid of<br />

as soon as possible.<br />

“Carry out a random act of kindness,” the late Princess<br />

Diana once said, “with no expectation of reward, safe in<br />

the knowledge that one day someone might do the same<br />

for you.”<br />

So it is true: kindness is never wasted, never meaningless.<br />

Somehow, mercy returns to the giver.<br />

St Basil the Great — a fourth century bishop in present-day<br />

Turkey — wrote that “A tree is known by its fruit;<br />

a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost: he who<br />

sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness<br />

gathers love.”<br />

A good deed is never lost.<br />

The wise King Solomon agreed: “Cast your bread upon<br />

the waters: for you shall find it after many days. Give a<br />

portion to seven, and also to eight; for you know not what<br />

evil shall be upon the earth” (Ecclesiastes 11.1-2).<br />
