Man! why do some people see kindness and just being nice as a weakness, its so powerful to be a good person.

[@kwanlam9230]

If you can help, just to give help, don't hesitate. We need to thank God that we are able to help other people when they are in need. The bus driver didn't know the old lady was diagnosed cancer, what he had done was from his heart to give help. The old lady was in a worse situation. However, the kindness given by the driver can help her to find happiness.

This really did make me tear up. I mean you never know what your bus drivers can do for you. Just bee nice to them and they will go the extra mile. I take the bus every day to and from work and around town. I can honestly say that I have never seen y bus drivers really cry that much but I have heard them singing at times and they have laughed before practically rolling on the floor had they not bee driving. It is really amazing how your bus drivers can make your day and if you are a good passenger you can make their day as well. I have been told by drivers too that I have made their day just because i was on their rout. Pretty special to hear that. I don’t even have to say anything and the bus driver tells me that. Just by being on their bus I have made their day. I think it is really 😂special how the bus driver actually feelt so happy he was actually crying.

I keep comming back to this video and I keep getting tears in my eyes. Talk about a bus driver making a passenger’s day wow!!! I have heard stories even on my bus trips to and from work some pretty heart tugging stories from drivers how they got into driving a lot of them have said that they are not in it for the money but to help people they just want to help and make people’s day by getting us to and from. I have sat on the bus before almost tearing up. The things i have heard oh my gosh even now a water work is happening. This is so heart touching. I can’t take my hands off of the keyboard without my eyes watering. Just the things i have heard from bus drivers really tuggs at my heart. I am a working pianist and I am really not a sensitive guy. I am pretty snobbish if you will when it comes time for work. Their however is a very sensitive side I do believe in even the hardest headed person. You hear something that someone did and it really jerks your heart string.s a pianist is kind of a snob cause we have to deal with a lot of stuff musicially and we are the lead of the instruments and we get a lot of demand put on our shoulders so we are kind of the hard people lots of things placed on our shoulders compared to other musicians. We get the bulk of the work but their are times where we hear stories of people doing random acts of kindness and it really touches you. Every time I listen to this video I tear up. The driver sure has a good heart but especially this one very soft spoken and he for sure sounds like a very sensitive guy.😂❤
