A few weeks ago I had an experience that affected my belief in the basic goodness of my fellow human beings. It left me a little bitter and a whole lot angry. I was kind of falling into a dark place. This afternoon something happened that reminded me, there are good people in the world and I needed to come back from that dark place and rejoin the good side of the world again.
This afternoon I was trying to help a customer. There had been some kind of glitch in our computer system and it wasn’t taking her card, no matter what I did. My customer was getting frustrated and I was getting frustrated. This random lady walked up to my customer, handed her a 100 dollar bill and said “if you are having trouble with your card, use this.” As my customer and I stared at this lady, not quite knowing if she was serious or not, she walked out the front door and disappeared. My random customer didn’t wait for her change, a receipt or information so she could be paid be back. She just saw my customer need help and helped. I know not all of us can give random people 100 dollar bills but if we see a need, whatever it is, shouldn’t we stop and help if we can? Wouldn’t it be a better world if we helped people instead of taking advantage of them? Just something to think about.
