I wrote about the kindness of a SF stranger before. Her departing words to me were pay it forward. Fast forward a week and a half and I had already forgotten her words.
Walking back from the gym a few nights ago, I was approached by some dude who asked me a question. Unfortunately, I didn't like the way he looked, had headphones in my ear, and simply didn't care to stop and listen to his question. Perhaps he wanted to know the time. Perhaps he knew me from somewhere and wanted to find out from where. Perhaps he needed directions. All I know is that as soon as I walked past this individual I regretted my decision to not show kindness to a fellow human being. Pay it forward she said... Have I not learned anything?
