Random Act of Kindness

[ttleistdci]

Everyone has their own views on the homeless, but this is something I just saw that I thought was pretty cool.

A homeless guy, and a couple bags of stuff he has, are leaned up against a store that isn't open today. I see a guy, maybe late 20s, early 30s, walk up to him. "Hey buddy, how'd ya end up homeless?" He said it in a way that either he was writing some kind of research paper on the homeless or he really cared to know what happened to this guy. I didn't hear the answer, but I walked closer pretending to be doing something else so I could hear what they were saying.
The middle aged guy hands him $10. "I know it's not much, and it's not gonna make all the difference in the world, but if you're hungry later maybe you can grab something."
Obviously appreciative, the homeless guy accepts the $10. I didn't hear what he said to this, but the middle aged guy responded, "Yeah, but it takes a much bigger man to take the money."
They wished each other well and that was that.

Not something you see every day. The homeless guy wasn't on the side of the road begging and he wasn't even really asking for money. He was just leaned up against a door at the end of a plaza, out of everyone's way.

I just thought it was pretty cool that this guy goes out of his way to try and make this homeless guy's day a little bit better.
