there is hope for this world...
Once again hope has been given to me by post secret.
Someone sent a postcard saying how they got an iPhone but it still never rings and about how lonely they were. There was an email after that from a guy saying he felt the same way, and he gave them permission to post his name and # on the site. Instantly I was worried about him. I usually have low expectations of mankind, and i knew a bunch of assholes would probably call him and make fun of him or something.
Then I got to the end of the page and there was another email. This one from someone who called Ryan (the guy who posted his #). He said that he heard from Ryan how so many people had been calling him to wish him well and be kind. And this person...talking to a complete stranger with whom he had nothing in common except for loneliness...took time out of their day to try and make him smile and cheer him up. For no personal gain whatsoever other than knowing they did a good deed and made someone else happy. And from what was posted this person wasn't the only one.
It warms my heart to see people being kind...just random acts of kindness without any thought of reward or praise. Unsung heroes. This truly brought a tear to my eye.
