A Stranger Reminded Me There Is Still Goodness In The World

By a friend • September 4, 2025

I was standing at the checkout and realized I was a few dollars short for the total bill.

I started to panic and thought about putting some items back. Then a lady standing behind me quietly swiped her card and said don’t worry I got it.

The amount was small, but in that moment it felt like the whole universe gave me a hug.

Sometimes strangers remind you how simple and powerful kindness can be.
