Subject: BS: Kindness of strangers - lasting effects
Are there moments in your life on which you can look back when a stranger or near-stranger said or did something kind to/for you? Something which has stuck with you? I'm not talking about any of the myriad of ways in which Mudcatters have generously given to one another, but that of someone whom you barely knew or didn't know at all.

There are a handful of times I can think of, which really bolstered my self-confidence and which have remained vivid in my mind, almost as defining mini-moments, kind of like what Peter T. has mentioned in the Dangerous Books thread. Not that any of the people I can think of were subversive or dangerous, except in a good sense!

Please share your stories with us.

Thanks,

kat
