I don't know about others' experiences. From my experience, I find that we are surrounded by bad people and good people.
In a previous post I have mentioned about the stirling qualities of my landlord of whom I was a tenant. I also mentioned the extraordinary kindness shown by my landlord and his wife when I got suddenly seriously ill (sudden drop in hemoglobin) a few months ago. I stayed in my beloved sister's house in Vellore and got my illness completely cured. In a previous post, I also mentioned her kindness and her daughter's kindness during my stay there.
Just like many senior citizens, I didn't like to be a burden to any one. Hence I shifted to a fee paying Senior Citizens Home recently. The Home staff is very cordial and customer friendly. In any event of emergency, the Home's Administration arranges for ambulance to take the tenant to the hospital.
This afternoon, a gentleman came to my table in the Home's restaurant after his lunch. He mentioned that I look highly qualified, intellectual and good, and said that he felt like conversing with me. (He said that he and his team mates were from Bengaluru and were on a visit to temples and that they liked to have their 100% saathwick lunch at the Home's restaurant on the way). I thanked the gentleman and said that I too felt the same way on seeing him. I told him that I don't know whether I really deserve his compliment.
My mother used to say "If we are good to others, they will be good to us".
