Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Short Walk Of Inspiration


--by luv4all, posted Apr 22, 2016
Hey KS friends,

You succeeded in inspiring me. Today, when I went out, I made it a point to get off at the bus stop where the homeless man (from  my earlier post) sits.

Right at the bus stop, I found another old man in rags. I went ahead to buy him some cucumber slices. I bought an orange juice for myself but thought would give this to him as well, because it was hot. When I approached him, he started asking me to have these myself. He repeated 3 times. Whoa!! Even though being on the road himself in this heat, he is thinking about me :) I hadn't taken lunch, so I felt l cared for. He finally had the juice and I was all smiles.

Walking further I met the same homeless man, who is handicapped and sick. I had posted his story here and received encouragement. I purchased sugarcane juice, (1 for myself as well) and also offered him along with 50 Rupees.

When I walked further, I found a homeless lady sitting outside another shop. I had 5 Rupees in my hand to buy a ticket for the next bus but decided to give it  away on the  condition that I will walk remaining half a kilometer home (to experience giving something I need, not a leftover).

Usually, this walk in afternoon maybe tiring but all these 3 small incidents, filled me with so much enthusiasm. When I came home I was energetic and happy :)

I am  grateful to all of you. I remembered you and felt like sharing all the while, during the travel.
