    Default True Goodness

    Ever have anyone do something truly good for you? A favor that put someone in a difficult spot, but they did it anyway? Something where you simply could not possibly return the favor? True Selflessness.

    A number of years ago, I ran out of gas. I was walking along the highway in my work clothes (slacks, shirt, tie) and a gas can. I had only walked a minute or so when a taxi stopped, and this guy offered me a ride. I explained to him that all I had in my pocket was a couple bucks and I HAD to use it for the gas. He not only drove me to the gas station, but also back. I had no way to pay him back, and did not have the where with all to take note of his cab number/name.

    Anyone else?

    A few years ago, on a very very cold Winter night, my car broke down. The transmission had blown. So, I was there, stranded on the road in the middle of the night, waiting for my then-boyfriend to find me and take me home. A man, probably in his 40s or 50s stopped, rolled down his window, and asked if I was okay. Then he asked what had happened, and what I was waiting for. After explaining that someone was coming to get me, he asked if I'd like to get into his car that had the heat blasting and wait for the boyfriend there. I was very very "iffy", for obvious reasons (stranger offering me to get in his car, etc..), but then he said "It's really okay, you'll be safe I promise. You look so much like my daughter, and I thought you were her at first." So I got in the car and we waited for about 15 minutes. He was completely awesome, and so very kind. I could've frozen my arse off waiting outside, or in my own car which wouldn't even start. Brrr.

    There's a couple more instances, but I'm running short on time (I have to go into work at 9 tonight, an hour early. Blech!) I'll continue tomorrow.

    Great thread, Mojo.

    LOL You'll get it as soon as I have time babes. I've been working about 55-60 hours a week since I started this job. Most likely, the next chance I'll have is Thursday or Friday. Those are my scheduled days off. Hopefully, they'll stick. Last week, I had only 1 day off.. LOL

    My present roommate...The guy barely knew me and Dea but opened his door to us, helped finance our trip out here, helped us find jobs, supplies us with money when we're low on cash, and basically just made us feel immediately at home in his apartment. To me, this is true selflessness and genuine kindness examplefied
