I don’t know how to act when a stranger offers help. True story, yesterday I was stranded when I left work at 10:00 PM and the last bus left me. It was a busy street and I had decided to walk the 40 minute journey back to my house when a stranger pulled over and offered me a ride. I had not much time to analyze the situation but I did anyway. I figured I could physically overpower the driver but even then I wasn’t sure if I should get in the car. What was the motive behind this simple good deed? It can’t just be to help can it? I’ve never come across anyone who would go out of their way to help someone they don’t know. It’s just not human nature in these days. So I did what anyone else would’ve done in my situation. I took the license number on my phone and sent it to my sister through text before I got in the car. The stranger gave me a ride to the nearest metro station where I could easily get home. Nothing happened. I was still uneasy about the whole thing. Was it just a random good deed? Is that possible?
