What a stunning read. I love this. Especially this: "I had all the rage in the world for people who invented Maths and Science!" Made me LOL in empathy.

How wonderful it is to carry beauty in your heart and to be able to see and look for it. It is true that sometimes companionship can be found in a strange even if it I just for a moment.

Thank you for invigorating this sense of wonderment of the world 🌟💫

A thoughtful article Anjali! Recently I experienced such a kindness from a stranger. I went out for a walk in my village during the Easter weekend along a canal and suddenly felt dizzy. A motorcycle mechanic who came that way dropped me to the nearest bus stop, although he had to go in some other direction. Shortly it rained heavily. Your heartfelt writing made me remember that gesture with gratitude.

This clicks so much, Anjali! During a winter storm this year, I had left work late. I had booked a room nearby in a hotel, and was driving my old pickup. (I have an hour+ commute.) It was snowing and blowing and as I came out the back way, there was a motorist with his back hatch open and he appeared working on the tire. He was young, maybe 20's. I ended up giving a hand, some gloves and the tire was changed in a flash. He was so appreciative and it was,blessing, helping.

People would argue 'happenstance'. But they seem divine coincidences! Thanks, Anjali!

That’s a lovely reminder Anjali… I like how you say life’s better when you assume it is. That just gives me a slight boost of faith in appreciating humanities and the world, despite the frustrations and nonsense… I hope to read more positive remarks shared by you …

Thats a really heartwarming story! Loved this Anjali. And the conclusion that the world is a much kinder place than it seems really hits home for me. I think in part the internet has made us assume everyone is full of hate and fear. But when you actually go out there and converse with people you find that that is not really the case.

You have a skill of expressing yourself with words. I look forward to reading more. :)

Yass! The internet can be so misleading at times. Even the news. We'll never know the truth unless we take it into our hands and experience it ourselves. The world is much safer and kinder, indeed!

So happy you enjoy and resonate with this, Samuel! <3 aghh, you’ve just made my day, and people like you are the reason for my 'why'!
