kindness

according to my reliable source, wikipedia, kindness is the act or the state of being kind —ie. marked by goodness and charitable behaviour, mild disposition, pleasantness, tenderness and concern for others. 


they said, kind people are mostly the blessed people. palaging binibiyayaan ng Panginoon dahil sa pagiging mabait.


one fine morning, heading to my station, i met a kind man. he was a tricycle driver. he was the one driving the tricycle where i rode in. while driving along the road, he talks happily about his family esp. his children. then, we passed one pupil walking on the left of the road. he stopped and asked the pupil if she wanna ride in.the pupil answered steadfastly 'no". he asked the girl again, "bisan way bayad? (eventhough you don't have to pay?). the pupil smiled and entered inside the tricycle...


he dropped us to SWCES. i was about to unlock my room when i heard a masculine voice calling loudly at me. when i turned to see where the loud masculine voice came from, i saw the tricycle driver holding my umbrella. he said, "mam an imo pajong (ma'am, your umbrella)." 


as an oldie fella, forgetfulness is one of my best traits. i left my umbrella in his tricycle. the umbrella i borrowed from my co-worker the other day:-)
