Today I only had 8 minutes to change trains, and I couldn’t find the platform. There weren’t any official looking people around, and I had already asked two people who didn’t know where my platform was. 4 minutes before my train departed, all I could do was stand and look around. A kind stranger approached me; he must have noticed my panic stricken face, because he asked me where I was going. The stranger explained that my confusion was justified, and walked me to the platform. I was so grateful to him! I said thank you very much as I was running to the train but I regret that I forgot to wish him a “Good slide into the New Year.”
This stranger went above and beyond to walk me to my platform. It isn’t the first time this kind of beauty has been shown to me while I travel. Kind people remind me how wonderful life is. If it weren’t for this stranger, I would have missed my train. I’m sure I would have caught another one, but my day went a lot smoother because of the stranger. Just three minutes of his time made so much difference to me. I only hope when an opportunity arises that I will also be as giving.
