nice people

It does restore faith in the world when we encounter nice people especially when we are faced with a problem. It reminds me of the time my husband who has bipolar disorder suffered an episode while he was away visiting his brother on his the other side of the country and had to be hospitalised. He recovered after a couple of weeks but was not medically fit to fly for at least another week on top of that so I was at home on my own. I found myself in a dire situation; I didn't have enough income to pay the mortgage because I was only working part time and my husband was not getting paid from work because he had run out of sick leave. I applied for assistance at our Social Security office and I was told that I would have to provide my husband's medical certificates and that money would not be deposited into my account until the following week which was not helpful to me because I was desperate. I attended the interview anyway and met a nice man who appreciated my plight because his own sister suffered from bipolar. He kindly phoned the hospital and obtained the required certificates and put himself out on a limb and ensured some funds for me the very next morning. I will never forget his kindness; I wanted to write a letter of praise to his supervisor but I didn't do it because I became aware that he broke rules in order to help me. I believe people like these are angels on earth.

People are people and they all have heart. Sometimes, it needs something to make that heart come and be kind and good. Cheers!!

unfortunately, "good" people are constantly seen as push overs and walked all over, and used and taken advantage of. This may be why they are rare to find these days.

Seems to me this is an example of goodness inspiring goodness. That man was lucky to have you to help him. You were being nice people yourselves and you were lucky with the nice policeman.

Its really good to see that you have found the good people when you need the most. These days good people are almost impossible to find but you aften find them when you need them the most. Faith is must as if you lose faith then you will not be able to recognise the good person if he is standing right next to you.

Always, I have found that in a time of crisis, large or small, help is provided, sometimes from the most unexpected sources, and sometimes with no actual request for help made. It is as though God knows and sends it. Trouble brings out the best or worst in people, and more often than not, the best is what shows up. A very good discussion topic, Pat!

Even though there are many challenges in life and everyone is into their own world but still they are people who are compassionate and are willing to help others in time of need. I feel the most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of oneself to others. I have helped many children who are from poor families and personally took 2 under my roof. I don't expect for any kind of recognition when I help but truly it has given me satisfaction and a big chunk of my own troubles are lifted. This is what life is, when you share, you increase rather than lessen your life.

Hi savypat, I feel that nice people turn up when we expect them and sometimes a lot depends on our attitude as well. I always like to hear about positive experiences and good news stories like this. Blessings.

I have never had any but good for you if it happens.. there are good people out there there just needs to be more of them!!!!
