Pay It Forward
When we give something to somebody, usually we expect a return: love for love, help for help. It is kind of pathetic when we find that most of humans give with aims that someday a return would come to them. And because of the expectancy which could not be reached, gaps between people, even hatred would appear. We are grouped into a society and everyone is not in completely isolated existence. We have relationships. We have chains. A little wave could influence the whole ocean. And the relationships between give and return are like relationships between wave and ocean.
Pay It Forward, an idea takes advantage of this kind of relationships. Besides, the happiness of giving is stressed in the idea. Person A gives his help to person B and person C could get the benefits and person C gives his help to person D… Everyone in society would benefit from it. Finally, our society would become very harmony.
However, sometimes the chain is very weak. The difficulty is just like what the boy have faced. And the difficulty in reality could not always be solved like what happened in the movie. Sometimes we choose to be isolated and refuse peoples’ giving. More often, we take them for granted. That is a question about gratitude. And we need a group of powerful, influential and enthusiastic people to lead the campaign.
The world would be greatly changed if there is a large group of people who have the same aim and high social responsibility. In that case, the world would be a paradise for human beings.
