Default Re: ** Random Acts of Kindness **

English, I'm with you that people in general are a lot kinder and more generous than we are led to believe. I gave my story even though I'm sure someone would have stopped to help me anywhere in the country. What made it exceptional was his willingness to ride his bike to get what I needed and then refuse to even let me pay for the item. That kind of generosity is rare.
