Today after work I was driving around as I often do because I am new to the area and want to get a good feel for my "home" and kind of know the lay of the land. Everything was great, cars were moving and the buildings were enjoying me watching them. All of the sudden, the car in front of me came to a dead stop! I hit my breaks and had no problems, but kind of had my heart bumping a little bit. "Perhaps I should be paying a bit more attention to the road" was the first thought that came to my mind. The car in front of me started to get into the other lane, as I looked, they were going around some wood which had nails sticking out of it. I followed suit and did the same thing. Well, almost that is; once the car made it around the wood, the guy pulled over, got out of his car and picked up the wood. I was able to watch all of this happen because I was waiting for the light to turn green.
I started to think why it was that he pulled over and took care of the problem that he didn't cause. Then, I began to think, "why didn't that cross my mind?" It bothered me a bit for the rest of the night. This guy, without even thinking about it, took care of the problem; which very well could have ruined someones drive home, their car, and any plans they had.
His Random Act of Kindness has me in a spin of ideas. I am going to reach out everyday in someway for the next week and look to see if I can get the same effect. Not so much of wanting others to look and say, "oh, he is such a nice young man" but more so, "well, if he can do it I can too!" I will be taking pictures and keeping an eye out. I shall call this little fun task, R.A.K. Fire; as I hope it spreads like a wild fire. Humm, should be interesting. Your thought?
