No
kind deed has ever lacked its reward.
What
is "Pay It Forward"?
It
is a star-studded movie with Kevin Spacey,
Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osment. But it is
far more than that. It is a powerful
love story about people, perfect strangers,
coming together in a way that empowers them
all.
"Pay
it Forward" is a chain reaction of goodness.
It is Aloha in action. You do a kindness that helps someone and
tell him or her not to pay it back, but to
pay it forward to three other people who, in
turn, each pay it forward to three more.
As
the young boy in the movie describes it:
| “It's
doing something for somebody that
they can’t do for themselves.
You
just have to do that three times and
the people you help each do it three
times, then it gets bigger. It goes
from three to nine to 27 and on and
on and on.”
