Hello guys, good day, everyone.
Reading this topic brought back some past experiences in my life. Because of my job, I get to travel to many places and interact with people I have never met before. Sometimes I live with them in the same room.
I have experienced kindness from both people I know and people I don't know.
Sometimes, it seems as though they were waiting for me to say the words, and then make it happen after some time, it's really a miracle, sometimes it happens within a short time.
The first act of kindness I ever experienced from a stranger really touched me.
I was going to Asaba (Nigeria), and at the bus park, I realized that the transport fare was high and above my budget. Although I had the money to embark on the journey, it was out of my plan.
As I was still debating on the price, the chairperson of the park came and asked me how much I had. I told him, and he asked me to get on the bus. I was shocked because we were about three people going to the same place, but I received that act of kindness and favor from a person who, if I saw him today, I might not recognize him.
On reaching my destination, the driver asked if I knew the person who paid for me, if he was my relative. I said no, and he was surprised.
Sometimes, I wonder if that day really exists. But to my great surprise, when I went to the park some months ago, I was able to find the man.
Those acts of kindness I have receive from people motivates me to do the same for others. I think kindness is a seed we plant, and when it's time for harvest, you reap more than you expected.
I just wish I could find those people who showed me kindness and repay them it in any way I can.
In conclusion. You have to be kind to others if you want others to be kind to you too.
Thank you for reading
