The Timeless Samaritan

Aug 27, 2009 12:46

       I think I have forgotten what it's like to believe in the good samaritan. It is so rare these days to find people who genuinly care about humanity as a whole, sure there are people who care a great deal about someone else or a certain area; but there are very few people who would care about a complete stranger. Kindness and politness are traits that can be learned, taught and born with, some people learn how to react to the world from there parents, some people from experiences and some, like a friend of mine from high school, are just born with a natural sweetness thats hard to duplicate. I had forgotten what it was like to believe in the kindness of strangers, but today a little of my faith returned because of one such good samaritan. I don't know who it is, or what they look like all I know is I left my 300 dollar phone in a public place, went back a day later and it was in the lost and found. This doesn't seem like much but when you think about the fact that the phone was worth a lot of money, and someone had to care enough about me, a stranger, to put it in the lost and found. It is a small thing, but it restores some of my faith in humanity, somthing I didn't even realize I had lost, I hope in the future I can return this unknown strangers' kindness by being a good samaritan to someone else.
