Someone should start an organization specializing in the opposite of terrorist attacks.

Unexpected, well-coordinated, massive and sudden changes of peoples lives for the better.

These acts would require funding, they would be possibly illegal, but not unethical. Altruist attacks, like terrorist attacks, would have to be planned carefully and secretly. The ‘victims’ would be random (in the right place at the right time), and the act unprecedented.

There are lots of people out there who are the scheming type; Pranksters, Con Artists, even Mass Farters.
It seems that often it is the challenge of the scheme that is attractive, not the outcome. Why don’t these people use their skills for good instead of evil?

Terrorism is most often committed as a means of manipulation; fear is a powerful motivator. But is not also reward? People could change the world by encouraging other people to do things based on the fact that if they do, something great could happen to them.

There could be videotaped messages with low production values and poor lighting. The mastermind of the act, face covered for anonymity, could boast about the great success of the attack.

“So many people were made happy today. Hundreds of lives will be better and thousands will live in hope for years to come.” The mastermind would say.

“I warn you this is only the beginning. If you continue to be peaceful and loving toward your neighbor, these deeds will continue. If you continue to be be selfless, caring and compassionate, the pleasure will rain upon you with ever growing ferocity and frequency. But if you change your ways, the attacks will end. Your lives will return to normal, and we will leave you be.”

The movement would have to start with small helpful pranks. Things that only cause minor conveniences and small amounts of joy. Eventually, creative thinkers, madmen with lots to give would come up with new schemes and plans that would rock the world with decency and kindness.
