A feel-good tale of
One good deed,
one epic ego trip, &
One very honest Mirror.
Srinivas wasn’t a hero.
Not yet.
But one rainy Tuesday, he helped a lost grandma find her way home.
No applause. No Instagram. Just kindness.And it felt amazing.
His chest puffed out 3 inches. His smile reached the Wi-Fi router. His reflection winked at him in the mirror.
“You, sir,” he whispered to himself, “are a beacon of humanity.”
๐ The Hero Complex (Side Effects May Include Delusion)
By Wednesday, he was calling himself "Saviornivฤs."
He wore sunglasses indoors.
He told people he could “sense moral imbalance in the room.”
He didn’t hold the elevator.
He “tested others’ patience to help them grow.”
He skipped helping a colleague lift a heavy box, saying:
“I lifted a soul yesterday. Let someone else handle cardboard today.”
The Mirror Talks Back
Then came Thursday.
Srinivas stood in front of his mirror, flexing his “virtue muscles.”
But this time…
The mirror snorted. Loudly.
“One good deed, and you went full superhero. Seriously?”
Srinivas gasped. “You talk?”
“Apparently I have to. Someone needs to remind you that kindness isn't a subscription service you pay once and use forever.”
The mirror leaned in (somehow).
“You’re good. But being good once doesn’t mean you get to ignore being decent the rest of the week.
Hello sir ji, That’s not a moral license—it’s a moral learner's permit.”
๐ก Moral of the Mirror
-
Good deeds are not coupons for later laziness or selfishness.
-
Moral licensing is like giving yourself a gold medal... and then refusing to run the race.
-
True goodness isn’t loud, dramatic, or performed. It’s consistent, quiet, and real.
❤️ Finally, Be a Lighthouse, Not a Flashlight ๐
Do good. Then do it again.
Not to impress your mirror.
Not to earn points.
But because the world doesn’t need part-time heroes....it needs everyday humans with full-time hearts.....❤️❤️
