Saying "thank you". \n\nI could give you a story about this guy pulling over when he saw a terrible car accident and saving the unconscious driver.  Yet, "thank you" is becoming a lost art in our society.  Nowadays, when I hear it, I mentally sing!  Bells ring!\n\n"Thank you" gives a society grace, gratitude, and greatness.  It begets self-lessness and charity.  The kindness of "thank you" should travel through our country and any great country.

I would love to do what you did someday!  When I hear your story I feel so selfish in my life.  I am raising 2 children and it is impossible for me to leave (right now) them to do something like what you have done. I do feel compelled to help others though.  Thank you for all you have done to help humanity. You will be rewarded with very good karma !\n\nPeace my friend

What an amazing event. I hope you treasure it for the rest of your life as a message of God's love for all his creatures.  I believe in angels, and I am convinced that all of us act as angels sometimes.  I know I have been blessed plenty of times by people whom I know, who have helped me in several ways. ALso, I have been touched by complete strangers who have actually saved my life in many ways.  God bless you

Well, I have seen a few things in my life that made me sit back and take notice.  Some little, some big.  But this one was really touching in that the person giving to others worked 2 jobs to support his family and the two children his widowed brother had left with him.  So he had very little money to spare.\n\nOne day last winter at a freeway exit there was a homeless person panhandling using a garbage bag as a rain jacket.  The guy in the truck ahead of me stopped, got out and pulled a new (in it's package) plastic raincoat and hooded sweatshirt from his cab and gave them to the guy.  I happened to bump into the guy in the truck a few days later and asked him about it.  His older brother had lived on the streets and died in the rain of pneumonia.  (He had given up his kids to his brother shortly before ending up homeless)  So he made a point of always carrying an extra jacket, umbrella, raincoat and/or blanket with him.

It is the characteristic of humanity - the "human nature" - for example an act of human kindness.

When i know and can see somebody is really true in the heart and really in a bad situation i try my best to help.  I may not have all the money to do so but i try to and even though i dont give a lot, i think its better than nothing.  I see people in poverty and imagine what it must be like being in their situation and my heart just breaks.  If i ever win lots of money, i will rather help those in need.  Thanks for having a kind heart!

Wow, I was just going to feed my family.  I have and do try really hard to do nice things, give a compliment, pay a tab if someone doesn't have the $, and always be a good friend and listener.  The highway thing, wow, that gets yu at least the halo, if not the wings. \nRandom acts of kindness, put money is someones meter, stick up for the ones who can't for themselves, love your children, teach them well and they will pass it on.\nI am thankful for people like you who give without the expectation of something in return.  Keep up the good work...the wings are on the way.

The nicest thing anyone has done was an offer from a dear friend of mine to pick me up in Portland Oregon from Salt lake Utah and drive me to my daughters funeral in Los Angeles.  So i wouldn't be alone and would have someone to process the grief with.  I couldn;t take her kind offer because I knew it was something I had to do alone.   \n\nThe worst thing is the man that was responsible for her death (he didnt kill her I hope anyway but if I hadnt known him it wouldnt have happened which is far to complex to explain here)  made sure I was homeless broke my nose several times and tried to kill me, after taking all my cats .  I was in love with him and waited for twelve years for him to show up. He showed up five years after her funeral, I had already waited seven for him then. That was six years ago.

A lot of people have done nice things for me, but I'd have to say the nicest thing anyone ever did was encourage my dreams.  I had a friend who always stood behind me, and never made me feel stupid.  She encouraged every dream I ever had.

I believe strongly in miracles, and have witnessed many of them.  One that stands out the most happened on Christmas night 1998.  I was travelling back from seeing family when I came upon a girl in the road who had wiped out her car for no apparent reason.  The road was clear, but she spun around and deflated both rear tires with her bumper against the concrete bridge.  I was going to drop her at the next town and continue on my way, but something made me stay and help more.  I bought a sledge hammer and beat out her bumper, aired her tires up, and folowed her the rest of her journey at 40 miles an hour.  I got home at 4 am, and had to be at work at 10am.  She made it safely to her destination.  The next day at work, someone pointed out a wreck that happened in an area I would have been in, and at the exact time and place I that I would have been in, had I not stopped to help her.  The accident I avoided was a car that jumped the median and landed in the front seat of an SUV, killing a young professional family and their newborn.  I battled with this for some time.\nI would have given my life to save that family, but God had other plans for them.\nWe stay in touch and to this day and call each other our Christmas Angel.

I have not known much kindness in my life.Broken home;then Viet Nam;and 15 yrs. on the streets of New York.However,I am not sure I understand the concept of LOVE;at least as practiced in modern urban life.I do,however,beleive in kindness.It is such a simple act,but so many people are afraid of it.I practice it every chance I get on a variety of levels.It doesn't always work;but the times it does is more than compensating.The key,which seems to go against human nature,is:TO EXPECT NOTHING IN RETURN"

Human kindness\n\nLook at the table of elements.  The ones near the end of the Periodical tables are ones that last for fractions of a second.\n\nThese are the rarest.  Alhough I would trade them all for human kindness.
