compassion.

i was in the drive-thru again, picking up a quick dinner after work. i sorted through my change jar, getting a hold of anything that could pay to fuel my exhausted body. when i handed the cashier my money, he just gave it back to me. the confused look on my face prompted him to tell me that the person in front of me had already paid for my meal. it was a small favor, but it sure helped me out. Now, whenever i feel like the person behind me in the drive-thru needs a blessing, i go ahead and pay for their meal, too. random acts of kindness influence happiness.

 

this is true compassion. someone who had no idea who i was paid for my meal without knowing anything about me. compassion can be fueled from anything. sometimes it isn't logical, but nevertheless it is compassion.
