Embracing kindness of others from "summary" of Wild by Cheryl Strayed
I was surprised at the kindness of strangers I encountered on the trail. People who had no reason to help me, went out of their way to offer me assistance. From the couple who gave me a ride into town, to the woman who offered me a place to stay for the night, their gestures of kindness made me feel grateful and humbled. These acts of kindness were like little miracles that appeared when I least expected them. In the midst of my struggle, they served as reminders that I was not alone in this journey. That there were people out there who cared about my well-being and were willing to extend a helping hand. I had always been an independent person, used to relying on myself to get through tough times. But out on the trail, I learned the importance of accepting help from others. I realized that it was okay to let down my guard and allow myself to be vulnerable. That it was okay to lean on the kindness of strangers when I needed it the most. Embracing kindness of others became a way for me to connect with my own humanity. It taught me to be more open and receptive to the goodness in people. To see beyond the surface and recognize the inherent compassion that exists in all of us. As I continued my journey, I carried with me the memories of those who had shown me kindness. Their generosity became a source of strength and inspiration, propelling me forward when the trail seemed endless. And in turn, I found myself looking for opportunities to pay it forward, to be the source of kindness for someone else in need.
