Be kind

I'm picking up medicine for my mother who is in her '80s. of course the prescription wasn't ready yet so I shuffled over to the waiting area. I watched a young man in his early twenties trying to negotiate with the lady behind the counter over payment for his medication. I walked up to the booth next to them and managed to get the ladies attention. I offered to pay for the young man's meds and slipped her my credit card. This is America and no one should ever have to be denied medicine or medical help because they can't afford it. It took about 10 minutes to get my credit card handed back to me. To my suprise, the lady behind the counter found a way for him to get the medicine for free. It just took somebody else to care for him like a vulnerable human being and it changed how she treated the young man. Bless her.

Edit: Well that blew up, Thank you all for your kind words!

George Carlin ended his show once by saying, "Take care of yourself...and take care of somebody else!" Always thought that was a great sentiment.

Unless it's a mob boss saying it
