BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER

How often you have helped someone who needed directions, probably lost their way and you were willing to help them by taking them all the way to their destination if not take time out to show them the way. Maybe you said it in words, showed in in deed or simply smiled and made someone’s day, yes there is kindness in a smile.

I must say I’ve met some really kind and nice people so far on my journey. Don’t let the unkind ones outweigh the kind ones. When you find a very kind one, it makes up 100 folds more for the unkind ones.Yes one kind act could wipe away all the unkind acts that were done to you, if you are not the type who holds on to bitterness.

I remember getting on a flight many years ago to conduct business in a particular country for the very first time and I met this kind middle-aged gentleman on a connecting flight with whom I had a conversation with me on the aircraft as he was seated next to me, and during that conversation he asked me where I was going, which I told him, when we got of the aircraft his son and daughter was awaiting him at the airport as he was a national of that country, co-incidentally ( there’s no co-incidence, nothing just happen:-o) I was going in his direction.

Although I’d never been to that country before, he requested that he took me straight to the business place I had to conduct business with and patiently waited for me. He actually booked me a room at the hotel and he called to make sure I was alright everyday, and even wanted to pay for the room, which I refused as I had already did. He also suggested that he took me back to the airport after I concluded my business which he did. As though he was a relative looking after me to make sure I was safe always.

All those moments in the back of my head I was wondering if he had ulterior motives as all women with intuition would feel, but he surprised me with his “gentlemanly’ attitude; What a gentleman! The average man would have seen me as ‘prey’. I kept in touch with him throughout the years like a father and daughter would.

I was perplexed by the whole episode, a complete stranger took me under his wings like a daughter and protected me from the beginning of my journey to my departure. What a gentleman he was. He felt like an angel in disguise and that’s exactly how I saw him. Not everyone can boast of an experience like that as most people has ulterior motives. All I can reminisce of is his kindness and goodness from a complete stranger; an angel. May God bless him always.

There are still many kind people around. The problem is we take their kindness for granted and some who see themselves as being used, become bitter and stone-hearted towards others. Treat everyone as who they are, not based on bad experiences with someone else. Don’t let Peter pay for Paul simply because of some bad experiences in the past. Learn from your experience and grow from it. Be kind to one another.
