The story continues:
I want to believe, but the cynic in me refuses to believe anyone other than that grandfather is real. people just aren't that nice anymore.
A lot of people want to be. The current world makes it so that it's less people won't, but can't figure out how.
Often, if 1 person starts something, and it's seen to help, others will join in. It just takes 1 person to start it, and another to make it a group activity.
Become the person this story inspired you to be.
People who perform these acts of kindness are not tasked with it. They do it because they see that it is needed.
It doesn't matter if it's true, if it inspired you to do something for the betterment of society, that is good enough.
People are good. Believe it.
If you need to see how much love there is in this world, drop by your local airport and wait in the arrivals section. Ten minutes will do it. There is so much love.
I know it's difficult in these times of dread and upset, but the love and kindness is there.
