I Witnessed A Great Random Act Of Kindness

Kindness

I am teaching two evening criminal justice classes at Bryant & Stratton College located on Main Street near Court in Downtown Buffalo. When I have a break between classes I hang outside on Main Street for a few minutes.

The other night when I went outside I noticed a street person who I have seen around sleeping on a bench. He was an older white guy with a grey scraggly beard. One of the Bryant & Stratton students a young African American male came out onto Main Street and as he was walking by he pulled a bottle of water out of his bag and placed it next to the sleeping street person. I thought wow that was nice.

As the young student walked away he came back and took a banana out of his bag and placed it next to the head of the sleeping street person and walked off. It was a great sight to watch as it unfolded. A great random act of kindness done in a quiet and anonymous way.

    Good stuff Paul.
    Just think if everyone practiced one small deed a day; what a different world it would be.
