Starting
in November of 2003, small cards like this one began appearing
all around the world. They are markers a newfangled game of
tag, where “you're it” because someone has done
something nice for you. Then it’s your turn to do something
nice for someone else and, in the process, pass the card along.
This
is a game of pay-it-forward. It is a game that makes the world
a brighter place by putting smiles on the faces of both the
unexpecting recipient and the stealthy giver. It’s a
game that makes us aware of the abundant opportunities to
help others – folks we know and those we’ve never
seen before. It is a game that teaches the fun of purely selfless
giving – doing for others without recognition or reward.
It is a game that celebrates anonymous service.
