Faith in Humanity

I was on the Metrolink train, leaving the Inland Empire to the airport . As the train chugged along, I couldn't help but feel nervous and thirsty. I remembered there was a water fountain on the train, so I went to fill up my cup. Just as I was about to take a sip, a kind Hispanic woman stopped me. "You shouldn't trust the water on this train, it's not very sanitary," she said with a concerned look. Before I could even thank her, she pulled out a sealed water bottle from her bag and handed it to me. I was touched by her unexpected act of kindness. As I sipped on the fresh water, I couldn't help but believe in the goodness of humanity. The woman's simple gesture reminded me that kindness is always around the corner, even in the most unexpected places. From that day on, I'll now make sure to always carry an extra bottle of water with me, just in case someone else needed it.
