We've come to the time in the world where good people are rare to find, some even concluded nobody is good because the good ones are doing the good for their own benefits. People make it seem like it's a rare thing to actually have someone who will show you kindness without expecting anything in return for their kind acts.
It's actually easy to believe that with the way things have been going in the world today but thankfully, there are still good and kind people and it is because I know it and I've experienced the kindness from people. People tend to underrate the kindness from family members. Even I was like that until my eyes was opened.
We forget that there are families who do not even want to see their own family members, talk more of giving help or assistance. So it's very wise to start being grateful from there, if you do have family members who are kind to you and agree that there are indeed good people in the world regardless of the reasons they have to be good.
Well, I won't be sharing the story of a simple act of kindness that I still remember from the many kindness stories I have of my family members towards me. I think that would be like, a bare minimum. Families are supposed to care and be kind to each other, what about strangers? Do I have any memory of a kind stranger? Yes, I do.
So I'll share only this one story, briefly but with the knowledge that I do have a lot of memories of people who showed kindness especially on days when I needed it the most. This story is the top on my list for as long as it will be because I always remember it when kindness is mentioned.
A man I knew nothing about, a family guy and a bike rider in a new environment I found myself, took me on his bike to a destination I asked about. I wasn't sure of the location but he made me trust him and took me there, also made me understand the choice I was about to make, I changed my choice when he offered a better one.
That choice became one of the best choices I've made in my life concerning where to live in a strange land because a lot of persons kept making me feel that way even years after I got the place. The same man made sure I got a comfortable space to spend a night since I couldn't return home that same day as planned.
It may look like some thing any person would do for a stranger but I understand just how much of a burden that stranger took away from me, even though he didn't know me. I'll always remember that act of kindness, it saved and relieved me.
