The humanity of some people just amazes me but most are not totally at fault. It is the fault of the society that we live in. So many are out robbing, killing, and assaulting others that most individuals choose not to offer assistance to those in need.
I was out this week celebrating my daughter's birthday. While we were headed to lunch my tire blew and I ended up stranded on the side of the road with no spare tire. My three children were hungry, tired from being at the park all morning, and as most children low on understanding of the whole situation. Questions kept coming left and right about why we weren't moving, when we were going to get help, and whines of when they were going to eat. Only one man stopped within that hour that we were on the side of the road to offer assistance. He help to get my car out of the middle of the street and waited until I was able to contact someone who was available to come to my aide. Despite my frustration I was still thankful through it all because no harm came to my family.
In another incident that took place this week I was out with friends and we saw a homeless man standing on the corner with his sign. Plenty of cars zoomed by not looking twice at the man or his sign. As we sat at the red light one of my friends pulled a sandwich out of his bag and gave it to the man. He didn't have money to give him but that kind gesture went a long way with that man.
That one moment of kindness and humanity that the individual showed made a complete difference in the remainder of my day. The kind gesture that my friend made seemed to give the homeless man some hope. You never know how you can affect others with the smallest amount of kindness, positivity, or helping hand. Humanity towards your fellow man goes a long way and will come back to you. Remember what ever you put out in the atmosphere always makes its way back to you.
