Had my own quite surprising moment tonight: I had to go fetch some dinner tonight, had my mom's card to buy with. I got all the supplies, and as it turns out, when using food stamps or social security to pay it off (with her permission, of course), there were insufficient funds (apparently the monthly renewal didn't come in yet). Alternatively, in case that happened (we saw it coming), I would pay it off with what cash I had on me. I was short ~1.50 bucks, and checking my car afterwards, I couldn't have made the difference anyway, and to my surprise the next person in line spared an extra 2 bucks so I could make my purchase without having to put anything back into the store, despite the fact I was going to try and use my bank card to make the difference paying off the remainder anyway. They insisted they pay the rest off. In return as my thanks I gave them their change after purchase and a sincere thank you.
I like getting little moments like that where I witness, or in this case, be the one helped by, the good side of humanity. Kinda helps remind me that sometimes my good deeds DO go by rewarded, rather than punished. Gives me hope that there will be more good days ahead. Not to abuse such things in the future, but I hope more good things like this happen more often (not only to me, of course). I was getting tired of the lack of good people in the world. Nice to see they still exist, and aren't extinct, nor an endangered species. Makes me regain some lost faith in mankind.
EDIT:
Funny thing, earlier today, I knew I would need money for some reason, so I called up my second job employer (cleaning houses) to see if there was any work today, and that money I earned was the same cash I had (plus what remained of an old lottery scratch off I won a few bucks on I had the opportunity to cash in). Good thing I took the opportunity to work today. Plus, post-holidays, I have my work schedules lined back up again. So at least I'm working again.
