Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Generosity is within us. It lies in that second that we choose to look outside of ourselves, and be connected to the world.

Today as I was walking home, taking a shortcut through the subway station, an old lady asked me to open the gate for her. While doing it, I asked her where she was going, and I realized that she got confused and was actually heading in the wrong direction!

I advised her of that and offered to walk with her to the location she specified. We walked, chatted, crossed all the red lights (she refused to stop at any :-) ) and hugged at the end (I asked her first...).
