Everyday when they kick off hour three of the Today Show they start by simply rambling about life, alcohol, and whatever current events are, well, current! Yesterday they caught my attention when they were both complaining about how people just aren't nice anymore. They both seemed to agree with the fact that people just don't seem to care about each other. I don't remember the issue that spurred on this conversation, but was shocked to hear that I'm not the only one who feels this way!
Flash forward 24 hours and this morning they shared a story about a lady who gave her Platinum AmEx card to a homeless man who was looking for some cash to buy a Vitamin Water and a pack of cigarettes. Now, why the man wanted the Vitamin Water over say, water water, is not really the point of this (however please refer to a post I made years ago on my personal blog for more information about how I feel about Vitamin Water...) Anyway, the point of this is that this woman gave this homeless man her credit card, he left, AND THEN BROUGHT IT BACK (!!) after he bought his Vitamin Water and cigarettes.
Good for this lady for doing that! Good for the man for bringing it back! Both of them deserve tons of credit for their goodwill and trust in strangers! I am about to begin this project with a glimmer of hope, and I know that I wouldn't be able to trust a stranger with my credit card. But think about it, how crazy would this world be if everyone behaved like this generous lady and this homeless man?
