What’s a moment when a stranger completely restored your faith in people?
Yes! There is always a friend waiting behind a stranger.
“I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” — Tennessee Williams (from A Streetcar Named Desire)
I have encountered numerous instances where a stranger helped me like a best friend and my belief in the people reinforced. I have mentioned my philosophy of god being present in human beings and not in temple comes from my own experience.
I would like to share one experience from foreign land where all of us were totally new and unaware of the situation but a stranger helped us like a god appeared to help us as a human.
I was in US with my family and we were travelling to Liberty Island. Initially we spent our morning time in Boston city. After visiting the tourist spots in Boston city we booked a cab to move to a place where the boat for liberty island was scheduled to depart. The taxi dropped us at the place it was booked for.
Upon reaching there, we realised that the Liberty Cruise stop is away from that place. We were amazed to see that the taxi fellow dropped us before minutes walk. The boat towards liberty island was to depart within 20 minutes and the walking time was 30 minutes. Another taxi was 15 minutes away and the travel by taxi was 10 minutes. So by any means it was not possible to reach the destination in time.
We were in a fix and about to loose our chance to visit Liberty Island. Surprisingly one stranger appeared and asked me what is the issue. I explained him the situation, he understood and told us to follow him to his car. And he drove us to the Cruise Line depot within the time and we could travel to the island.
I thanked the man and blessed him a lot for his kind act. He said I am happy that you can catch the cruise.
I strongly believe that the act of kindness comes back to you and you should never break the circle. You should continue to pass on the kindness further.
Thank you my dear readers for stopping by
Stay happy and keep smiling 😊
