The Seed of Mercy Many years ago, a poor young man named Daniel lived in a small village. Life was very difficult for him because he had lost his parents at an early age. He worked from morning till night carrying heavy loads in the market just to survive. Most days, he slept hungry and hopeless. One rainy evening, Daniel became very sick and collapsed near a roadside. Many people passed by without helping him. But an old stranger stopped, carried him to a small clinic, paid for his treatment, and even gave him money to start a little business. Before leaving, the old man said, “Never forget kindness when life becomes better for you.” Daniel never forgot those words. He worked hard, expanded his small business, and years later became one of the richest merchants in the city. Although he was now wealthy, he remained humble and kindhearted. Whenever he saw struggling people, he helped them with food, school fees, jobs, and shelter. Many people wondered why he was so generous, and he always replied, “Someone once saved my life when I had nothing.” Daniel’s life became a lesson that kindness should never end with one person. Good deeds can grow from one heart to another and change many lives forever. Question: When someone receives kindness during difficult times, should they also help others when they become successful?
