The other day I was walking to the library during my lunch break and saw a man who walked with a limp heading toward the library from another direction. A couple of seconds after I entered the library, I heard a groan, turned around, and saw that the man had fallen a few feet before reaching the entrance door. A young man who was nearby immediately went to the man who had fallen, asked him if he was hurt, and helped him stand up.
It was a meaningful experience for me to witness this kind of caring response. The young man who went to the man who had fallen responded without a moment’s hesitation. Another example of doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. Another example of how we need one another.
