The phrase ‘Go a second Mile’ is taken from the Holy Bible (The gospel of St. Mathew 5:41). What does the phrase ‘go a second mile mean’? It is a call to extend oneself in selfless service of the other. In other words it is an invitation to walk an extra mile for the good of the other. If I am able to appreciate one person today, I should make an attempt to appreciate two persons tomorrow. This in simple words is going an extra mile. It is a warning call not to be satisfied with the minimum, the little and always try for the better and higher. It is giving up an attitude of ‘anything is okay.’ The second version of going a second mile is: Human being always takes pleasure in doing what he/she loves to the people whom he/she loves. It is nothing new. There is no kick to life. Everybody does this. Going a second mile consists in doing something good to the people whom we don’t love in spite of the differences and misunderstanding. This is a challenge, risk and not something easy to do. It requires an attitude of self-sacrifice.
