My moment was in Switzerland.
It's mid January 2020 and all of my focus is laid on free solo attempting Mont Blanc in wintertime. But first I need to get there.
Bumming hitchhiker from town to town, all geared up in winter alpine gear.
Just around Lozanne, a black, square Jeep pulled up with an old (but full of life) gentleman.
The only weird thing was that he was driving the opposite direction.
Then he starts asking me questions in clay English where I am heading to, where I come from, what are my plans in general.
He keeps asking me if I am hungry - like he clearly wanted to force me to say "I am so down on glucose in my blood that I would go on rampage scratching paint from your truck and then I would digest it easily; only if you allow me to do so".
So I said yes I am hungry.
He asked me to jump in his car and we cruised a couple dozen meters, just to stop at interesting and fancy place - a building enriched by stone sculptures, overall giving vibe of mediterranean restaurant that pays tribute to ancient Greek and Roman culture (with modern twist).
Then he said (but less fancy, more primitive English):
"It's my restaurant and I am honored to host you there. I pay big respect to your kind of people. Please feel like it's your home for now"
As a warm up, I got to deal with starter homemade veggie soup, with warm and fresh rolls and creamy butter.
Then I was attacked with chicken legs in interesting sauce, with potatoes and veggies. I was doing my best to eat everything, but my limit was about to get reached.an
Then... A finisher of finishers. A full BOWL (probably 1l) of chocolate pudding 🍮. Oh my god. My honest impression. I managed to battle it with couple of bites but then I had to give up.
I thanked the gentleman so much, but he would listen too much. He gave me some sweets and he managed to organize a lift for me, to the next town, after talking with one of his clients (from one of the tables).
At the time, I was kinda selfish and I wasn't keen to help others... After that I slowly regenerated and started doing nice deeds to others. Just after one situation.
Conclusion:
We can show others our love and how we manifest it in the world around us. Do something unexpected, and you have a chance of changing someone's heart forever. We don't need to repay every favor to every person that helped us. It's good enough if we pass the goodness to the next life being on our way. Sometimes it's better. You never now.
I would love to hear some of your stories ^^
