So shines a good deed in a weary world. I came across this quote from some blog and googled the meaning of it but no sites in the first page of the search result give me any idea what the statement means so can you guys enlighten me?

hi, i am no poet...so only can try .i think that phrase must be written on kindness and considerration that are so rae in the second life,nastiness so often abounds,,that when it occurs,you have to really give a shout out.and this act of kindness is all the more highlighted by the act of malice which it sought to undo...

From the sentence itself, I guess the meaning is that even if you live in a bad world, you still should do the right or good things for the people in you country.
In our country, i think the criteria of our behaviours should not be changed while the circumstance of the community changed or something that is wrong happend.We should hold up the right principle!

The world is so tired of hardships that people tend to forget to do even a simple act of kindness. So when an act of kindness is done despite these problems the world faces, it stands out-thus it shines.

It's like finding a diamond amidst a pile of stones.

I think that the phrase means something like: In this selfish(maybe evil) world, it's easy to recognize a good person. It's like a white dot on a black table. That's just my humble opinion.

It just means that a good deed stands out in a world of tired people. Simplified: Doing good things is good. (Shakepseare= Captain Obvious) The remark is in qualification of the previous lines.

Isn't it obvious? A good deed shines in a weary world. This line actually gives some good imagery. By using the word "weary", Shakespeare is painting a picture of a grey and bleak world. A good deed shines among it, giving it a distinction among that bleak and dreary world. It hints that a good deed is valuable and rare in a world that is weary.


myLot reputation of 90/100. olivemai (2791)   ranked 808 out of 6,537 in student  11 months ago

Excellent! It is as if the good deed makes the sun shine brighter and more often.


myLot reputation of 90/100. koharukusumi (853)   ranked 256 out of 6,537 in student  11 months ago

But I think most good deed are never really seen and usually exploited by vicious people.


myLot reputation of 90/100. olivemai (2791)   ranked 808 out of 6,537 in student  11 months ago

NOw there is a hint of truth in that!

It means that good deeds are rare, always were rare, and help the world to become a better place!


myLot reputation of 90/100. koharukusumi (853)   ranked 256 out of 6,537 in student  11 months ago

I hope all good deeds are appreciated


myLot reputation of 90/100. olivemai (2791)   ranked 808 out of 6,537 in student  11 months ago

I would hope so too, but I do not think every good deed is appreciated. Some even get lawsuits started!


pinoymelancholy (93)  8 months ago

a good deed shouldnt be seen it should be done regardless if anybody sees it or not, i try and do atleast a good deed a day, it gives me hope that someone somewhere tries to do the same, if so i believe it makes a world a better place.


myLot reputation of 90/100. koharukusumi (853)   ranked 256 out of 6,537 in student  8 months ago

Yes a good deed should be done without reward.

well the line itself is incomplete it means a good deed is shown in a weary world ofcourse weary meaning tired or dissatisfied world it but if i am to analyze it it should say that in this world that is tired of hardships, lies deceit a good deed will shine through


myLot reputation of 90/100. koharukusumi (853)   ranked 256 out of 6,537 in student  8 months ago

Yes, I was looking for a deeper meaning from it. I try to relate in the current context of the world.
