In a world where you can choose to be anything, choose to be kind.

These days, it might seem like the world is a gloomy place but there is kindness everywhere if we keep our eyes open for it. We are wary of strangers from a young age because we are taught to be so, but there are moments when we are surprised by them. Recently, an American author shared an anecdote about a random teenager she came into contact with. While she was bracing herself for a mean encounter, it was quite the opposite.

"I was walking alone yesterday when an unsmiling teen on a bike whizzed by. Our eyes met. He circled back, and I couldn’t help bracing myself for our encounter. 'Hey, lady,' he said gruffly. 'Five ducklings. Under the culvert ahead.' Then he did a wheelie and sped off," she wrote on Twitter.

Soon after, other people started sharing how they were helped by a stranger and other instances when someone was incredibly kind to them. Some of those interactions were also funny, to say the least. These anecdotes prove that we shouldn't write off strangers yet because there is still lots of good in the world.
