Did he go number one or number two?
good people abound
Kindness. It’s a wonderful thing.
What a great post.
Be ye kind, one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another
A Wise Book once taught me that...
Thanks for the great post!
One reason the American people are generous and kind is that we live in a land of plenty. THE reason we live in a land of plenty is because we are a Christian nation (if we were of another religion which I won’t mention, we would be constantly seeking revenge and fighting one another).
Let us trust in God and keep the spirit of the Lord alive through our actions.
Great story. No one asked who he voted for, how he ended up in the chair, etc. America is not as divided as the enemedia would have us believe.
Great post.
I'm not surprised. Since the election I've heard a few people - including comedian Bill Burr - comment that there are billions of daily interactions that transcend race, religion, and other lines. Nobody (or few) checks each other's voter registration card, ask to see their papers, or ask for their views on the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.....we treat each other with common decency as our Lord commanded us and get on with our day.
Sure, we may have a concealed weapon while we go about our business, and we may not help some shady character who is up to no good...we aren't idiots. But, in general Life Under Trump has not become void of humanity. Indeed, the enemy would have PREFERRED that you walk by that situation.
Stories like yours warm my heart. The are a sober reminder that we are individuals first...not a collective, and that in the end good will triumph over evil (though it may take a while). That said, while I would like to think an Antifa rep would do the same for a well-dressed man in a wheelchair, sadly I doubt it. Nonetheless, our side carries on as we've been called to do.
Again, God bless you.
Once instance doesn’t speak for the nation. I’m far more cynical.
I find this very typical behavior for the part of the country I live in. I’m an ofwg (old fat white guy), and I’ve been going around helping people in like manner for years. I doubt if anyone that knows me (except, possibly, my wife and kid) is aware of this, because I don’t brag about it. It’s just how I live my life.
People everywhere tend to be good and decent. You did a good thing. You did the right thing.
It is important to note that news, by definition, is the exception, not the rule.
I’m glad to see this but I suspect it’s a more regional thing. One of the things I see in the south is a slow coarsening of manners. Hopefully we can keep southern gentility going notwithstanding the larger cultural changes.
Those are the moments that give us all great faith in each other. Like after tragedies when strangers go out of their way to help each other even under some serious risk. Thanks for sharing.
Good on ya!
It really doesnt take much effort for those that can. For those that cant the task is insurmountable.
I bet very few have had to try so hard and go through so much just to take a piss.
Thanks for helping.
Great story, you all did good!
America is not nearly the racist nation BLM would have you believe.
I am 64 years old.
I still hold doors open for people, being 6’3” I am the designated “can you please get that off the top shelf” guy at the Supermarket and I always go out of my way to help people when I can.
When someone is surprised by something I do for them I always respond, my Mother would never let me forget it if I didn’t and they always laugh.
