14th July, 2012 at 11.00am, I was driving on a busy road. I was patient yet my human but flawed faculty of judgement failed me that led me to a minor car accident. My car kissed the butt of the car in front and left a smudge on the butt. We droved to a less busy road to avoid causing a traffic.
I came out from my car when I saw her gestured me to be careful with passing vehicles. I felt warm because she showed compassion. Then we talked and discussed how much I should pay for the smudge. I admitted I was guilty. Apparently her car was very recently gratified a new coat of paint; I believed as the car looked very new. I told her I was broke but can afford to pay fifty or a hundred. When I took out my wallet I realized I had only $28 and coincidental my bank account receipt dated only the day before $39. I showed her my wallet and the receipt with an emphasis on the date as it was only late last night. I told her I had depression as I started to feel stressed and I believed I looked so too.
In my whole life, first time I was given untainted compassion. Perhaps I dressed like a mental patient or exuded so, this young Indian girl opened her purse, pulled out a fifty and inserted into my car seat. I was totally overwhelmed by her kindness and compassion.
She said, “ I FEEL SO SORRY FOR YOU!”
She was a total VICTIMIZED stranger learned me like a human being, no ranks, in one only omnipresent language.
Values, beliefs all core stuffs don’t dig validating, validatory action.
Overwhelmed, inspired Nathan.
