Hello dear community, following the contests proposed this week, today I join this new and interesting one that is presented to us, and what is more interesting to tell than those moments where we receive that kindness and/or help from a person from whom we did not expect anything and we may not deserve.
For this challenge, the truth came to me quickly two moments of my life that happened recently, failing that because one was an act of kindness from someone who did not expect it and the second from someone who did not deserve it, so having said this I will tell you a little of these two stories.
The first was on my recent trip to Brazil, I was working and living in Muçum, a small town in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, here many coexistence problems occurred that led me to want to change my environment and with this travel to breathe new Buenos Aires, I remember how in one of the connections of the trip in one of the bus terminals I wanted to buy something for breakfast, because my journey had started at night and the trip was long, for which reason with regret and in an unknown place without knowing much I approached a lady who had been on the same bus as me on the first leg of the trip and asked her if she knew where I could buy something for breakfast, to which she replied that yes, that she was going to buy it too, the This lady was the first time she treated me and I treated her, we went to the place and she asked for some things for her, then I do the same and when I finished ordering she asked me if I was sure that I was going to want just that So, I had taken only what was necessary since I was a little short of money, my surprise was that when I answered that if the lady paid both bills, I very sadly told her not to worry that I had to buy my breakfast, but she insisted and I relaxed breakfast.
There I really felt an act of genuine kindness that made my trip very happy, there I understood and I was happy to see that there are still kind people who help whenever they can to everyone who can something that is very beautiful and a lot is lost in these time.
The second story happened when I was already in the city that I moved to, when I arrived I was received by a friend, a person who had been there for me in some difficult moments that I had gone through in Muçum, it happens that because I was dazzled I began to treat badly to that friend, since when he learned a little more about why what happened in Muçum happened, he sat me down one day to talk and advise, there he touched on many negative things about my actions, which I did not like, because I felt attacked even if he didn't do it badly.
The truth is that on many occasions I become a very fragile person, and I like being able to receive support from my friends, the more I realized that my friends only supported me and no matter that many times I was the one who was doing wrong, and this friend who did help me but at the same time I tried to correct myself, I did not know how to value him and realize that he was a real friend because he not only helped me but also wanted me to grow as a person.
The point is that I got carried away by a friend I made at work, because she was precisely the type of person who helped me without correcting my actions, but in the end when I fell, she left me alone and despite how bad it had been With my friend and the distance that I had taken, he went and helped me at that moment when I needed it the most, there I learned that a friend is not only the one who validates you in your problems but also the one who helps you solve and correct them.
