have you ever helped by a stranger ?

Living in a selfish world, we are often forced to question our ethics and wonder whether there is any humanity left at all. But sometimes, a random act of kindness by a stranger restores our faith in humanity and gives you hope that maybe all isn't lost yet. And so, we asked our friends to tell us about the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for them. Texthelp : Scoopwhoop.com Picture courtesy: Google image I remember my sister forgot her bag in the train compartment. It contained official documents and her purse. We lost the hope, but after 2 days she received a call from a stranger who had the bag in her possession. The stranger returned the bag at the decided location. We thanked the stranger and had a cup of coffee with her. Such incidents teaches you a lot and left impressions on the behavioural aspect of your personality. Have you ever helped by a stranger?

I have always helped people when they need it the most. It is important to reach out to our neighbor. Here in my country we work hard to help our brothers in these difficult times.

Yes, one co-passenger who saw me with no coins in one early morning trip to work when I try to pay with a bill but the driver said he has no change yet, paid for my fare. It may be a small amount but I thanked her profusely. So, when I had the chance too, one time, I paid for a co-passenger's fare and will do so again, if I had the opportunity to pay back a kind act.

That's sweet. Everyone has an angel that they don't know is there. The stranger you pass, may be your angel. You are someone else's angel, as well !

kindness should be inherent in a human being.

Yes I had a very nice phone and left it on a counter in a bank. Someone picked it for me and they called a number that I had given and I got my phone back. She refused to take the money I was giving her.

Yes, I helped strangers when I see them that they needed help. I also helped those elders who need to cross the street.

I have had several such moments. When I was in eighth standard or so, I was traveling in the bus (BEST in Mumbai). Back then I did not have a purse. In our generation, most of us carried monies on our compass boxes. So there I was pulling out the compass box and what do I find, my ink pen had leaked and the note I had was drenched. Conductor was right in refusing to take it, then somebody from the seat behind spared some monies. I was mortified so I could barely turn around, when that was happening. The hand is all that I could recall. But then conductor gave me the change, which felt even more terrible. When I turned around, there were so many, I did not know the kind soul by face. Keep wondering why the change was returned to me. And keep hoping god takes good care of that kind soul.

I must say not for everyone the helping hands come forward. It is that instant connection with your soul which actually works.

Sometimes people help us, sometimes we help them. Learning with life, I have my own life of helping the needy with my action whatever way I can.

Yes I have been helped. My husband has a wheelchair, and at the airport it's impossible for me to push him and cope with two suitcases at the same time. Complete strangers often help me.

That is really great that we still have honest people in this world. Your sister was very lucky to have her bag with content again. God will bless the founder in any ways.

No I have not. Where I live, it is suspect that anyone would approach you.
