英國一位名叫路克的男子從去年年底開始寫一個“做善事”博客，計劃在1年內(nèi)做滿365件善事，并逐一貼上網(wǎng)，雖然他的舉止讓許多人推崇，但仍然有人討厭他。
路克說，他之所以會有日行一善的想法，是因為他認為自己身處于一個只在乎自己、不關(guān)心他人遭遇的時代；他表示，如果我們每天只是在Instagram上炫耀新買的包包與手表，或者只顧著與好友自拍的話，那我們最終腦袋里將只剩下“自己”。
為了脫離自己所處的“自私世代”，在行善的12個月里，他總共花了3000英鎊；而他卻只是一名工讀生。
路克行善的內(nèi)容五花八門，他曾經(jīng)幫鄰居老人倒垃圾、幫同事填滿空的糖果罐、為人代購食物、花一整晚在所有同事桌上貼上鼓勵的小紙條、幫老人擦停在門口的電動車、以及幫無數(shù)個排隊在他后方的人付錢。
盡管路克的行徑讓許多人溫暖，《每日郵報》甚至稱他為“全英國第一好人”，但他隨機幫助人的行徑，卻也招致了不少的質(zhì)疑聲浪。有人說他們就是不喜歡路克“炫耀行善”的行徑，還有人把他稱為“想尋求關(guān)注的自私的家伙”。
When Luke Cameron decided to do a good deed every day for a year, he could never have anticipated how much it would change his life.
The 26-year-old from Cheltenham made the decision after a close family friend died from cancer in 2013.
He started writing a Good Deed blog and logged every kind gesture he made on the site, which has now amassed thousands of followers.
The kind actions range from taking out the rubbish for his elderly neighbour, to baking lemon drizzle cakes and sending them round to his friends and family.
He has also bought countless meals for strangers at places like McDonald's and even paid for a person's petrol just because they were stood next to him in the queue at the station tills.
In total, Luke estimates that he has spent ￡3,000 in the last 12 months on good deeds, despite the fact that he was only earning the wage of a part-time shop worker.
He said: 'In a world of taking selfies with your "besties" and Instagramming pictures of your new handbag and Rolex watch, we forget to think about anyone else but ourselves.
'Our generation has forgotten to care about others, because we are too self-obsessed to even care what others are going through.'
But while many people have been inspired by Luke's blog, he has also been on the receiving end of sceptical responses.
Luke said: 'The majority of people love it. I have my haters, but that's a given really. I try not to dwell too much on other people's opinions.
'Most people to begin with didn't understand why I was doing what I was doing and became very reserved about me helping them.
'Scepticism was rife among my monetary good deeds and some people questioned my motives and others thought I wanted something in return.'
Luke decided to do a year of good deeds after a good family friend passed away in October 2013.
He said: 'Maura was like a mother to me. She was hands-down the most incredible and inspirational woman I will ever meet.
'When a neighbour needed food, she gave her last potato. When a friend needed money, she gave her last pound.
'She gave her whole life selflessly helping others around her and at her funeral over 4,000 people queued for 3 hours to get in and pay their respects.'
Last December, Luke decided that January 1 would be the day that he kick-started 365 daily good deeds.
He began with some small gestures - on New Year's Day he said 'Happy New Year' to a woman serving his coffee in a Tesco cafe.
On the second day, he bought food and drink for a couple of homeless people in his local town centre.
A few days later, he handed over some spare change to a lady who didn't have enough coins at the parking meter.
Since starting his challenge, Luke also entered a competition run by Utility Aid to win the job of National Philanthropy Manager, a.k.a The Nicest Job In Britain.
His Good Deed challenge convinced the organisers that he was the right man for the job and so, for the whole of 2015, Luke will be paid to travel the UK and assist 45 different charities.
He has also decided to extend his challenge for another year and claims the experiment has completely changed his life.
He said: 'I think I have healed myself by helping others.
'It really changes your perspective on life when you help people. You become so much more grateful for what you have.
'I did this purely to help people as a social experiment. I wanted to see how helping others for a year can really help yourself.
'I've gone from working part time in a shop to now the national philanthropy manager where I am making my life's work about helping others and I've raised thousands for charity.'
Luke also created Cards For Kindness - a pack of cards with good deeds that include: 'Tell your mum you love her,' and 'Tell a stranger they look beautiful.'
The cards cost ￡5 for a deck and 25 per cent of each sale goes to the British Heart Foundation.
SOME OF LUKE'S GOOD DEEDS:
Good Deed 345:
One of my colleagues is on crutches after snapping his Achilles Heel. So today I grabbed his lunch for him and took it to his desk so he didn't have to hobble around getting it.
Good Deed 341:
I baked a load of mini lemon drizzle cakes today and sent them around to friends and family.
Good deed 258:
A small but helpful deed today. Carried down my elderly neighbour's trash. Bin day tomorrow.
Good Deed 256:
I was with a colleague today, explaining about doing good deeds. She was a little skeptical about the whole thing, so while she was away from her desk, I left the money for her lunch.
Maybe I can change her opinion of random kindness.
Good Deed 244:
Today I helped somebody in need. I stopped my car on the way home as there were a couple with a map. I gave them directions to the centre of town. They were very grateful
Good deed 242:
While walking the dog, I noticed a load of litter over the field at 7am - clearly the morning after the night before.
It was a few glass bottles and shredded cans. So I carefully picked them up and disposed of them.
Good Deed 221:
I got up at 5.30am to help a friend move house today. I hired a van yesterday and drove around two hours to Exeter to load up and remove everything from a 3 bedroom house.
