The impact of a caring stranger
A friend of mine was on her way to a fancy party with her children and husband David. On the way over a bridge, there was a man standing alone. The husband wanted to stop and talk to him. The rest of the family went ahead to the party. David found out that the man was going to jump off the bridge. David stayed up all night with the man trying to find out what the problems were and what could be done. The man had no money and no way (he thought) to earn any. Between them, they figured out that he could collect used items and sell them. Pretty soon he opened up a second hand store. By the time David passed away, the man owned a string of second hand stores in different cities. He flew in to his funeral and told some of the people there this story.
David was a very caring man, who didn’t care for B.S. At a party my parents held, he abandoned the ritzy folk socializing in the living rooms, and sat in the kitchen chatting with the teenagers of the family, making them feel that they mattered.
The Penny Drops!
Love to hear that ideas in conversations I have with people have made a difference. While the instructor asked a pretty average question the student shared a deep intention, in a very succinct response. This drew quite a reaction, and he wanted to know more.
