So today Easter Sunday me and my parents witnessed a very rare and wonderful moment of human kindness.
We went to Walgreens to buy some last minute stuff for my students. When we entered there was a young, homeless man in the entrance, looking in pretty bad shape. When we finished our shopping we step outside and we see a priest and his two daughters giving him food, money, a drink and the most important thing; words of courage, hope and faith.
It was quite the scene. Everybody who was at that store saw the guy, but probably didn't notice him till they saw the priest helping him. And it was very selfless. The young man looked pretty dirty, had many scars and probably had diseases on him. But that didn't stop the priest from putting his hand on his shoulder and head.
This was a fascinating moment that everyone should have seen. We live in a time in which people put anger, uncertainty and fear above hope, optimism and faith. They start to believe that humans are no longer capable expressing those feelings to each other. This is helped by the media who show nothing but bad news for the sake of ratings. But once we see moments like this we finally realize, if briefly, that we can make a difference, that we do care for each other and that love can reign over all.
I took pictures of this scene with my celphone so I can show my students and everyone else in my life to show that we can be more than just creatures filled with anger, that even for a moment love can be stronger than any other feeling in the world.
