"THE FEW GOOD PEOPLE LIKE ME LEFT ON EARTH"
The universe is in such a mess that you hardly see anyone that wants to help without motives or a gain, that's why Rich people help each other and hardly stretch helping hands to the poor, the High and powerful do returnable favours and even the average citizen wants to help the rich, for future purpose/gain.
Recently, i have started my journey back to full fitness after many months of staying off the gym due to a back injury i sustained on boxing day 2017. After long weeks of medication i had to stay off Dumbells and the likes on doctor's order, so now that have fully recovered i had to register to a gym not so close to my apartment.
Every day during the week, i spend close to two hours pumping my muscles with some extreme cardio, usually i do this towards the evening and i go home around 9pm.
I have issues with driving at night, besides i am one lazy driver that hates any slight traffic so i always respect my humble self and shuttle in public transports to and fro my gym. I had pick a far away gym because of the two friendly instructors, they are patient and kind; ready to listen to you own point of view as a client.
So as you know, after each workout session, i am hit with dead biceps and arms, triceps, thighs and back muscles from the heavy lifting.
This particular night, i was dead tired and as i struggle back home, i took a public shuttle and the lady beside me keeps smiling at me, even though i managed to smile back i never wanted any discussion as i just want to get home shower, eat my fruits and crash till the following day.
Then, to get my wallet out of my Gym track pants was hell, my arms were so heavy that it got stucked inside my pocket, as i struggle the lady flashed another brilliant smile at me and just told the bellowing Bus driver that she is paying for two!
Shocked and embarrassed, angry too at the impatient bus driver, not that i didnt have money but how can i explain what was going on to this raging bull who is now using obscure languages to address me?
I couldn't look up at the lady anymore till i got to the bus stop, funny thing is we alighted at the sam Stop!
One thing was going through my mind, i have enough in my pocket that this lady have no idea i did, but what prompted her to rescue me was the amazing thing. Could it be my bulging muscles i thought? But i knew that can't be, because i was trying hard to catch up with her to explain what was wrong with me but this lady just smiled and waved "goodnight" to me and whooosh!
She vanished into thing air!
For days now i have been using the same route with the hope of seeing her again, maybe get her number and even ask her out, bring her on the SteemTrain and so many wishful plans i have, till now as i head to the Gym have not seen her and from the look of things i might not see her anymore.
Moral
Are you reluctant to help? Or do you even pay detail attentions to happenings around you to help someone out of embarrassing moments just like the lady did?
Be good to people and never expect nothing in Return, see the magic that follows just like the scripture said that;
"Give and it will come back to you in good measures, pressed down and running over"

Just like in every day life, on Steemit too we see each other, the same people we see on the street, in a shop etc. The key i think is to be kind and do not react to someone else's negativity
Quite sad what the world is turning into. Just like yours, I have had similar experience that made wonder how many of such selfless being still exist. Despite the fact we tend to meet more of people with such self seeking and egocentric attitude, I believe there are still lots of good people with very kind heart.
You are absolutely right, there are still good people around.
See the way am reading with keen interest to find out how the story will end......
I learnt a lot from this short story....The lady just exhibit what we called kindness....there is a saying "be careful with the people you meet on your way up because it's likely you might need them on your way down"
We need to learnt from that lady give without expecting anything in return....but it's painful that only few people understand that law and live in line with it but this kind of people are rare to come by.
Thanks for sharing dear
Thanks for Reading my dear friend.
I think this sort of thing used to be more common. Unfortunately, we've all become so suspicious of each other that these days if you do anyone a kindness, they immediately start looking for your ulterior motive.
It is the situation of the region we find ourselves in my dear friend.
Thanks much for your contribution to Curie and the upvote I received from them :D I appreciate your efforts to make steemit the best place for creators. Cheers!
