🔗 Share this article In Such Poor Health I Was Unable to Walk When a Man Virtually Carried Me to a Restroom. During my nineteenth year, my daily commute was on an express bus. It was perpetually jammed and would always be standing room only by the time I got on. During a certain commute, I began feeling incredibly sick when the coach rocked around each corner. I continuously reassured myself to hold on just a little longer so the bus could got to my destination, and then I could sprint quickly toward the most convenient public restroom to be sick. As we neared the road leading to the destination as it dawned on me I would not be to make it. All of a sudden, it seemed a curtain fell over me. Everything just went blank and silent; similar to when one muted everything. I said to myself, “I’m going to faint”. Thankfully, I was positioned close to the driver inside the vehicle, so I managed a couple of steps to ask the driver and requested that the driver to open the doors, explaining to him that I was about to vomit. The driver opened the doors and I weakly exited out onto the street. My intention was not to vomit before multiple lanes of cars, so I gathered myself and started trying to walk across to the park across the road, where I believed I’d at least be able to discreetly hide among some shrubs to be sick. Yet I must have lost consciousness. I could feel my body but walking was impossible and my vision was blurry, so I started dragging myself toward my intended destination. “You right, love?” At that moment, I got scooped up. There was a strong arm supporting me and a stranger inquired, “Are you okay, dear?” I managed to tell the unknown man that I required to be sick. Therefore, he almost helped me walk over to a close-by structure and guided me inside the women’s restroom. He asked me whether I required him to stay with me but I declined. A few minutes later, I felt better enough to sit down and from the other side of the stall I heard him inquire, “Are you feeling better, dear? Is there anything you require?” I could not to stand up just then but I did succeed to thank him and shortly thereafter was able to move my limbs. I made my way home passing the next few days recovering from what turned out to be a nasty tummy bug. I never saw his features – only his legs along with a sizable container for tools he was carrying – but he saved me, when I was completely helpless. Many times, life has a way of making you guarded, hostile, and combative. His was the sort of gesture that undoes that emotional callousness. He demonstrated that humanity’s innate tendency is to be kind, a quality I adore about my fellow humans.
