What does kindness look like? It’s random strangers caring for you without knowing your name, it’s random strangers caring for you like you’re their own, no questions asked, no delay, no expectations, just helping out.
I was travelling back home today and one of the passengers in the bus I boarded had motion sickness. I’ve read a couple of articles about motion sickness and watched a few videos about it, but I've never seen someone suffering from it. I finally did today and it wasn’t a pleasant experience.
Watching this lady struggle to fight the nausea and stay calm was sad and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for everyone who has to deal with motion sickness.
Motion sickness is horrible, it hits you so hard, and since you’re in a confined space, you can’t do so much to help the situation.
Our journey started on a good note until a the lady started to feel sick. Gladly, she had her big Stanley cup, making it easy for her to manage the situation.
This pretty lady moved from being all chatty to being sad and restless. It was a five-hour journey, and when it all started we’d barely started the journey.
It was so hard for her to stay still, she groaned in pain and each time she winced, there was a stranger there to tell her sorry.
I and the lady who sat close to her took turns to rub her back, we all consoled her, cracked jokes, cheered her on and tried to proffer a solution. On a good day, you’d have expected these people to be disgusted as she was so loud, and you could literally see her throw up.
We all worked together to help our “patient” feel better.
We got to our destination, and surprisingly our patient made it. She was grateful, as her biggest fear was that she was pissing or making other passengers uncomfortable. She thanked everyone on the bus, and we were more than happy to have helped.
As tough and wicked as the world can be, it’s nice to see compassionate people who don’t hesitate to help others and also expect nothing in return.
If you belong to this category of people, you are amazing and we appreciate your contribution to humanity, you rock!
Have you ever had to deal with motion sickness? How did you handle it? I’d love to read your thoughts in the comments.
