humanity is good.
Long story short. I sent a huge package in a 40 x 60 create to the wrong address to someone near Philadelphia. My cousin who happens to live in Philadelphia insisted on driving to the address (on her day off) picking up the package and redelivering it to another address in downtown Philadelphia. That could maybe be expected but she did it with such “no problems” and “that’s easy” that it kinda blew me away.
Long story short. My daughter had a dead battery that wouldn’t jump with her car parked on a Seattle street and after me trying to direct her over FaceTime on how to remove it, a man pulled up and said he had tools and offered to take it out for her. With smiles. With joy. My daughter said “I love this man.”
Long story short. It’s not my story but Josh Havekost is currently riding his motorcycle from Seattle to the southern tip of Argentina and somewhere in north Argentina (I think) got a flat tire on a deserted road. A man came up and took 4 hours of his day to take the tire into town and have it repaired while Josh stayed with his motorcycle. You can see the whole story on his instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jkhavekost/
Two things:
People are generally freaking amazing and nice and kind when you interact with them in the real world and not on Twitter.
I was reminded this weekend to be sure to be one of those people when someone needs me to. .
