Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Precious Words


--by laughingsoul, posted Mar 22, 2019
Today I bought a few pastries and had an 85 year old man who was sitting next to me chose one for himself. He was happily surprised and we got to talk about the sports he participated in until his late 70s.

Table tennis seemed to be his favorite. It was an interesting, fun and happy moment for both of us. We just have to keep open and opportunities to do good will show themselves. People are sometimes  starving for conversation or even a few kind words. These offers could be as precious as a loaf of bread.
