Receiving Kindness On A Rainy Day

It was raining heavily this morning, so heavy that you will get wet just by alighting from the bus. There was this kind lady who had an umbrella and as she alighted, she turned and offered her umbrella to shelter the rest of the passengers who were alighting. It was a very heartwarming gesture, especially for myself, the recipient of her kindness.
This is the true beauty of kindness, you don't need a reason to give (I am sure she doesn't know any of the passenger she is sheltering), you are also not obliged to give (she could have just walked off and not risked herself getting wet). But you give because you care, you give simply because you want to help someone and by doing so, you make someone's day brighter and happier. Because your action is inspiring, there will be more people giving because of you and this is how our community, our world changes for the better.
