A Touching Message

With the great number of student organizations here in the university, whether academic or social, it's almost impossible to see the campus clear of posters, tarpaulins and flyers advertising an activity hosted by or a product being sold by an organization. During the early parts of the semester several organizations, frats and sororities advertise themselves to get students to join in.
Then there are also those small posters found not on bulletin boards but on random places scattered throughout the university. It may be found in stairs, a shady wall behind a building or even a lamp post. While it may count as vandalism, it might prove powerful in some ways depending on what's written on the poster (or sticker) and who's reading it.
What's written in these scattered posters are touching (to an extent) and even inspiring if taken with the right emotions.

Reading posters like this where its initiative is to encourage students at random and unexpected moments are one of the kindest things people can do without really expecting any exact results. Just post a message there, wait for someone to read it then it's up to them how they'll take it. So in a way, it's helping others help themselves.

One of the several messages scattered all over the university is this:

I think it's obvious what the message is trying to convey

But then regardless of message, one should really consider where to put it. Not all place is the right place even if the message of whatever poster is set to touch someone's heart.

That one sticker above is posted on a male bathroom wall directly in front of whoever's using the toilet. (Mind the vandalism on the vandalism). And of course, not all will take the message the same way. As per comments in tumblr, "There are two, three sometimes four kinds of people and they will not defiitely end at five".

Sure it's nice to touch a person's heart, just not in the bathroom. It's...kinda wrong.
