3.) Read the passage given below and fill in the blanks:
It is true that kind actions are not always received with gratitude. But this ought never to
turn aside the sympathetic helper. This is one of the difficulties to be overcome in our
conflict with life. Even the most degraded is worthy of the mutual help which all men owe
to each other. It should be remembered that the happiness of the cruel man is as much
an integral part of the whole human happiness as is that of the best and noblest of men.
hen again, a man cannot do good or evil to others without doing good or evil to himself.
Prob
bly there is no influence so powerful as sympathy in awakening the affections of
numan heart. There are few even of the most rugged natures, whom it does not
info
uence. A kind word, or kind look will act upon those upon whom coercion has been
tried
ed in vain. While sympathy invites love and obedience. harshness provokes aversion
and resistance. The poet is right, who says that, "Power nisemea
might of gentleness.
Sympathy, when allowed to take a wider range, assumes the larger form of public
philanthropy. It influences man in the endeavour to elevate his fellow-creatures from a
state of poverty and distress, to improve the condition of the masses of the people, to
diffuse the results of civilization far and wide among mankind.
