Hey guys, I want to share something to you. Last week I went to a government office alone to fix some documents. After finishing, my husband picked me up since he was near the area. After a few minutes of driving the motorcycle, it stopped. We were out of gasoline and the gasoline station was way too far from the area we stopped at. he was very furious to ask for help from his friends but no one answered. So one policeman stopped and told us that there was a nearby gasoline station which if we go there he would push the motorcycle. It was too hot that day I think that was at 1:00 pm so that was a very hot time. So we have no choice but to walk and push the motorcycle. As we passed by the offices an old man stopped at us he was also riding a motorcycle. He asked us what happened and told us he wants to help. He left his motorcycle to us then went somewhere to get some tools to transfer his gasoline to us. After a few minutes he came back with a hose and an empty bottle of soft drinks. So my husband blew the host and gasoline was transferred to the bottle then poured in our tank. The old man said to us, He was also like us sometime and no one helped him so he knew what he feels to be alone in such situation that's why he helped us. We were very thankful that he helped us. How about you guys, do you experienced somethings like this?

I guess that's right. Somehow me and ny husband also help the people in need like the street people. Usually we give them our extra food in case they are hungry and beg us for food. :)

"The old man said to us, He was also like us sometime and no one helped him so he knew what he feels to be alone in such situation that's why he helped us." - exactly. some people never forget what it's like, while some people don't seem to remember.

Yeah. And it feels sad when no one remembers the feeling of being unhelped when it just happened also to them. :(

@rairaianne14 i always wonder if kindness and helpfulness is something that's part of your character or not.

There are some people who are so kind enough. It is becoming rare nowadays. I am just wondering why the old man left his motorbike? I think it is better to use it and get things what he needs instead of walking.

He left it maybe just a proof that he would come back on us. Anyway he got his things just a walk away from our area. :)

Several times people have come to rescue in times of distress. Usually they do not take money when I offer it, they simply tell me to pay it forward...which I have done several times.
