This Line for Kindness.

This line for water.

This line for toilet tissue.

This line for kindness.

I was fourth in line for your kindness today. In a world where lines are forming to meet our daily human needs, it seems humanity has forgotten the most important line to form… kindness.

You see, you did something so small, so minor, I’m afraid you have already forgotten what you’ve done.

As you where wondering down the grocer isle, you came upon a woman distraught from not being able to meet her families basic need for toilet tissue. In your compassion, you handed over yours stating, “You seem to need this more than me.” But you see, I didn’t witness your kindness, I was fourth in line.

Another human (the second in line) witnessed your act of kindness and was so touched that she shared it with her banker (the third in line) when she sat. That banker, so touched by your kindness shared with me, (now fourth in line.)

I have been touched by your kindness, in this time where I truly felt our humanity was waning, and hard to find. I promise you kind stranger, your kindness is not forgotten. Though we may never meet, Thank You. You restored my faith in my fellow humans and I now know there is still a line for kindness.
