There's some kindness left in the world

Recommended Posts

There is lots of kindness in this world, both here and abroad.

I remember a trip in Boston once, when there was snow and a massive wind storm, I tried to go for a walk with my then toddler and baby, and gave up as it felt dangerous. But I saw people go to and hold total strangers to help them cross windy roads. When things go wrong with nature people pull together.

We see it here in the UK a lot... You know, when it snows a bit and all the cars get stuck? There is usually someone to come and help push.

When there are floods (and we get our fair share of it in oxfordshire), people talk and help each other.

This is a nice video... My darker side wonders whether its a bit 'planned' and not quite so genuine, but i hope its not, and even if it was, who cares, those things happen :)

I watched a very moving documentary a few years ago about the victims of the 7/7 bombing and one comment has remained with me.

A woman who had been badly injured was talking about the amazing kindness and selfless caring that came from the normally buttoned up underground passengers. She said (and forgive me if this is not an exact quote) - "I now know that in the darkness there will always be someone to hold my hand"

Says it all really
