The Power Of Kindness: A Tale Of Compassion And Humility.
Contributed by Jm Raja Lawrence on Sep 22, 2023 (message contributor)
Once upon a time, a lady worked at a meat distribution factory. One day, when she finished with her work schedule, she went into the cold room to inspect something. But in a moment of misfortune, the door accidentally closed and she was locked inside. Although she screamed and knocked with all her might, her cries went unheard as no one could hear her. Most of the workers had already gone, and outside the cold room, it was impossible to hear what was going on inside. After 5 hours, while she was on the verge of death, the security guard of the factory eventually opened the door. She was miraculously saved from dying that day.
When she later asked the security guard how he had come to open the door, which wasn't his usual work routine, his explanation was, "I've been working in this factory for 35 years. Hundreds of workers come in and out every day. But you're one of the few who greet me in the morning and say goodbye to me every night. When leaving after work, many treat me as if I'm invisible. Today, as you reported for work, like all other days, you greeted me. But this evening, after working hours, I curiously observed that I had not heard your bye. See you tomorrow. By not hearing your farewell today, I knew something had happened. That's why I was searching everywhere for you."
The moral of the story is to be humble, love, and respect those around you. Try to have an impact on people who cross your path every day. You never know what tomorrow will bring. Stay blessed.
