There was a woman named Sarah who lived in a busy city. She was a hardworking lawyer who spent most of her time in the office. One day, rushing to catch the train, she noticed an older man struggling to cross the road. He was carrying several heavy bags, and he seemed to be struggling.
Sarah stopped to help the man and asked if he needed assistance. The man was grateful for Sarah’s help and told her he was trying to catch a bus to visit his wife in the hospital. He had missed his bus and was now struggling to carry his bags to the next stop.
Sarah offered to help the man carry his bags, and together they made their way to the bus stop. As they walked, the man told Sarah about his wife and how much she meant to him. He also talked about how the city had changed over the years and how people didn’t seem to have time for each other anymore.
Sarah listened to the man’s stories and realized she had been too busy to notice the people around her. She had been so focused on her work that she had forgotten the importance of showing consideration toward others.
As they reached the bus stop, the man thanked Sarah for her help and told her that she had restored his faith in humanity. The man’s words moved Sarah, and she realized that showing consideration toward others was beneficial to them and herself.
From that day on, Sarah consciously tried to be more considerate towards others. She took time to talk to her colleagues, helped her neighbors with their groceries, and volunteered at a local charity. She realized that by showing consideration, she was making a positive impact on the people around her and making herself happier.
As time passed, Sarah noticed that her actions had a ripple effect. At least that was what she thought, and in the end, it didn’t matter. The people around her started showing more consideration toward each other, and the city became friendlier and happier. People were no longer rushing around, ignoring each other, but taking time to connect and show kindness. And that is what matters. That is what makes people be more like people should be like, more human.
The takeaway from this story is that showing consideration is just as important in the modern world as it was in the past. In a busy and fast-paced world, forgetting about the people around us is easy. Still, by showing consideration, we can positively impact the people around us and make ourselves happier.
