Kindness That Gives Meaning

A man named Noah was going through a hard time. He had worked for years to build his

life, but one setback after another left him feeling defeated. Slowly,

he began to believe that nothing he did really mattered anymore. One morning,

while walking to clear his head, Noah noticed a woman sitting alone on the sidewalk,

holding a cardboard sign. Instead of walking past, he stopped.

He bought her food and a bottle of water and sat beside her for a while. They talked about

life, dreams, and mistakes. She laughed more than he expected.

Before Noah left, he asked her, “How can you still smile after everything you’ve been through?”
