Still Some Good Left !!

A stranger helps rescue a baby girl from drowning and walks away. An article today described how an unknown french guy, helped rescue a small girl who fell into the river in new york. He walked away, not expecting anything, not media attention, or a thanks from the family or not even a small photograph to be put up in news paper.

In today's world of man eat man, it feels like a miracle when you encounter such people. Makes you wonder if you ever did anything even close to it. Even wonder if there is still some good left in the world.

We always try to justify every small thing we do everyday. Justify to ourselves, to the world, to the nature, to our parents, to our family, to our friends. To everyone and everything......for each and everything we ever did, do or going to do. We want reason to do everything. Everything has become more of a business. Education, Medical attention and even help. In all the chaos of technological developments and scientific research we have forgotten the basic things which once were considered good manners. Like helping others, giving your seat to an old lady, or even just smiling on a passerby. We have become more and more self centered and are teaching our children to be one.

I mean there was once a time when you taught your child to be gentle and grateful. Now we tech then to push others and move forward all on the name of survival, competition and success. Our society has lost the social component. Well at least most of it. Has become so much self centered. We fight to preserve lots of animals on the brink of extinction. But our own humanity is on the brink of extinction and we aren't even aware of it.

But these small incidents remind us, that we still have some humanity left. And we must preserve it before it becomes extinct forever.
