Trying Times (but it's not all bad)

I read an article on NEWSELA about a man who paid for groceries for 30 people. (If you want to read the article click here.  The article talks about how the man and his 11-year-old daughter wanted to do something for some people in need in their neighborhood.  They weren't sure about how to go about it but when they were standing in line at the grocery store, the woman in line before them was short on money for her grocery bill and he told the cashier that he would cover it.  Then he just kept going, paying for groceries for 30 people.  

The article got me to thinking about remembering that even though things are scary right now, there are still good people in the world doing good things.  Sometimes, when things get difficult, the constant state of fear and alarming news can really make a person feel hopeless and even more frightened.  It can make a bad situation even more stressful.  That's why it's important to seek out the good things that are happening in the world.  What we are living through right now can bring out the worst in the people...but it can also bring out the best.  For 30 people, one man's actions, made their day just a little easier.  Those families have some groceries to get the through a little longer.

I think that these seemingly small acts really help us to get through.  We need to help each other however we can.  I've read some stories of kindness that help make me feel a little better.  It also makes me wonder what I can do to help others get through this really difficult time.  This pandemic has revealed so many flaws in our current society.  Really big issues of inequity that need to be addressed.  It's overwhelming.  So, I think its important to see the expressions of selflessness and love to help us to remember that kindness to each other can help us be better.

WOW! this is an amazing topic. I totally agree with everything you said. During this time, it will allow you to focus on the negative if you let it. There's some good people in the world, I am one of them. Whenever I have it and I see a homeless person I give them something.
