There are some good people in the world!

The Living Force
So this morning, on my way to the butchers and supermarket, I stopped by the cash machine to get some money out and off I proceeded. Whilst at the counter in the supermarket, I got my wallet out and noticed that I didn't have any cash... oh no! I left it at the cash machine!! What are the chances that I'd still find it there?

So I pay by card and I walk to the cash machine and there is no money there, but I notice someone else on the street looking up and down, holding what appears to be cash in his hand. So I walk up to him and ask him if he just got that from the machine and he looked so relieved.. he handed me the cash, I thanked him and off we went on our separate ways. What a wonderful person!!!

Coincidentally, I just took a walk now and I saw him again! I thanked him again!! :)
 
Awesome guy :cool: I find its times like these that my faith in humanity is slightly restored
 
A similar thing happened to me some weeks ago, I left over 10 dollars in change in the self serve check out and a man followed after me and kept calling out to me for about a block! At the time, I wasn't aware I lost the money and actually took a corner and ran from the guy, thinking I had shook off a beggar or conman after noticing in relief he finally gave up his chase. After getting home and realizing what has happened I just realized I escaped a Good Samaritan. I can be quite the fool! I hope he kept the money as reward for his efforts.

Wow, there's definitely still some honest people out there. I think I might have slipped him a little reward for that honesty.
 
Wow Luke, this is inspiring indeed! There are still humans who preserved their humanity :flowers:

I also want to share an incident, that touched my heart. A day in late winter, 2,5 years ago, I walked through my city. Snow was just melting. Suddenly I noticed, that I had lost my neck scarf somewhere near the street. So I walked all the way back I had already come, turning my eyes to the ground and hoping to find the scarf. When I came to a fence, I turned my eyes up from the ground - and there it was: tightened to a fencing stake. Some considerate person had done this, in order to save the scarf from being trampled into the snow mud (and maybe to make it more visible to the person searching for it)! I loosened it from the stake and continued on my way lighthearted, due to such kindness of a stranger.
 
Merci pour vos partages qui redonnent confiance en l'être humain...
Oui, il y a encore des gens dignes d'être appelés ainsi...

Thank you for your shares that restore confidence in human beings ...
Yes, there are still people worthy to be called as well ...
 
A great story and what a coincidence you saw him again to enable you to thank him again.
 

This is about good people but in a different way. When I moved into my own apartment, I came with not much but a bed, tv, and dresser. No dish's, flatware, cookware, coffee pot (oh despair ) nothing of that sort. When people saw I was moving in and through friends heard all the things I needed, they all came together and donated their extra things. What i did or could not use went to others. This apparently happens on a regular bases. It was absolutely beautiful to find people caring for people.
 
Merci pour votre témoignage qui fait bien plaisir à lire...

Thank you for your testimony that much pleasure to read ...
 
It is a very comforting story. Yes, there is beautiful people around us. People who give without waiting. I think when you are a good person you can see and meet good people. You live what you are, your reality is also a part of you. I always remember one story that happened to me: one day I went to an automatic cashier and find 50 euros in the machine that the person before me forgot to take. So I was tempted to take the money with me. But 50 euros is a lot of money and this money was not mine and the person that was with me insisted that I gave the money back to the bank that maybe they could trace who withdraw the money 3 minutes before I found it or maybe with the camera they can trace the person. So I went inside the bank and gave the money back hoping that they money would be returned to the person. I don't know if the money was returned to the person or not, but who knows. What I mean by this story is that when you are gentle with life sometimes life is gentle with you, life is also a mirror. Your guy was a good person, an honest human being and surely also because life is gentle with him. And meet good people is very good for our soul. Treat others how you want to be treated. This is called: "ethic of reciprocity".

Thanks to share your story!

It's next to impossible to really know what people are thinking, especially strangers. The best we can do sometimes is infer this from their actions. I chose to be grateful to the actions of this person on that day, at that moment. For sure, he had the opportunity and time to take the money but he decided to wait, at least long enough for me to turn up. I was lucky to turn up when I did as I could have easily missed him as he may have thought he'd waited long enough and no one was coming. :)
 
People are often unaware how happy they can make other people, me anyway, with a small act. One day I had nothing but a few bucks cash, had to buy a snack of some sort for the day. So I was standing in line just with this one snack, and the woman behind me offered to pay for it. I first said no and then she offered again and I accepted. It doesn't even matter that she didn't know I was almost broke that day, I thanked her, had a smile on my face for maybe twenty minutes, and nothing could get me down the rest of the day.

Another day I inadvertently left my cap on the bus. After I got out the person walking behind me gave it back to me, departed, and I had another happy day.

I am sure they have all sorts of problems. They are like anyone else. But that is irrelevant and did not cross my mind. They primed me not to derail into negative behavior, on days where I could have been vulnerable.
