I remember a few months back, when I blogged about two accounts when I was stuck in the rain without any umbrella and two complete strangers on these two separate days helped me out. I said I will give back.
By some twist of events, I did.
It was a couple of nights ago, when I went to dinner from the coffee shop downstairs. It wasn’t pouring, but it was raining quite heavily. I was on my way home, when I saw this granny crossing the road with just a towel on her head. Man, it didn’t feel good to see her like this while I had a huge umbrella in my hand. So I just went over to shelter her while this guy went to fetch his car to send her home. Her daughter-in-law came over, and they couldn’t stop thanking me.
It wasn’t how much they thanked me, it just felt good helping people.
The most joy comes from helping, not receiving.
Yvett.
