Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Paralyzed Body But A Powerful Heart


--by sathya, posted Feb 9, 2012

Last weekend, I was traveling home from Bangalore. There was a distinct lack of buses, so I thought I would escape the crowd and go for a refreshment. I decided to go to a hotel near the bus stand.

I met a man there who was paralyzed and I thought to offer him some food. He spoke to me in English and started explaining his past life when he was healthy.
 
He had worked in Dubai for five years. Then an accident left him paralyzed. Now his family was taken care of by his sister.
 
While listening to his past I realized that he had experienced much in his life and learnt many lessons.
 
Eventually I told him that he may have been physically paralyzed but his heart and spirit were wonderful and he could always depend on them.
 
His eyes filled in with tears, I offered him some money and then I took him to his home. Our meeting and our goodbye seemed to have a great effect on him.
 
I have learnt that if you speak few good words and offer a little help will not only bring happiness but will remain in people's hearts for ever!
