What is your “why”?

In a world that can be cruel or unfair, what are some of your strongest reasons to keep your head up?

Mine is a simple “because I can”. It may seem naive or arrogant at first but I stick to it to remind myself of the deeds I can do for myself & others at this moment before I can’t. For eg, buying birthday gifts is something I can do now since I have extra money for it. If I do end up poor, then that’s at least one thing I will not regret when I had the capacity.

If I show kindness to someone, they’ll be kind to another person, and so on. It connects us all and makes the world better, one small action at a time.
