Random, Unconditional Acts of Kindness

There was a man who was going in for an interview for an office job. He was very well-kept and had long hair, which was neatly kept in a braid. He recognized that this might be a discrepancy; however, he was growing it for his niece, who has been diagnosed with cancer.

That happened at my mom's work, and I still can't get over it. That man would go through all that trouble with finding a job just so he can give his daughter his hair. It honestly brings tears to my eyes.

Wouldn't it be nice if more people were like this, Just did random, unconditional acts of kindness? The world would be a much better place.

I'll leave you with one of my personal favorite quotes from Gandhi that I try and live by:
"We must become the change we want to see in the world."
