After watching this video, Id like to share a short story of what happened in my life yesterday. I was just leaving Fred Meyers and a man (20-23 yrs old) walked past me & made a comment about how hot he was. I commented, Yes, its brutal. He stopped & had the most odd look on his face so I asked him if Id said something wrong. He said no but you are the first person to be honest with me. When I tell my friends Im real hot, they tell me to buck-up! I thought he was going to pass out, he was definitely over heated. I asked him if he had a lot of shopping to do & he ask me why I was asking. I said Id wait for him & give him a ride to wherever he needed to go. (Keep in mind, our temp was 113 yesterday). He got teary eyed & said Youre a very nice lady. Thank You very much but I was going to call the $5 taxi because I just dont think I can go much more. I promptly opened my wallet & handed him $5. Tears filled his eyes & he apologized for not giving me a hug but he was very sweaty. I just smiled and told him I consider myself hugged. That was a very Great feeling just to bring a very small act of kindness to that young man, I got the feeling he hasnt experienced much kindness in his short life. Perhaps this will start to turn it all around for him.
