Sometimes some of life's most joyful sights happen when you least expect it. Experiencing these things bring you back to realize what the world is really like. Living in the period of time that we are, it is hard to see someone who isn't just worried about themselves.
It is fall break here at the University of Alabama and everyone is leaving town. I drove my roommate to the airport in Birmingham, and after dropping him off I drove downtown to the Chick-Fil-A at Five Points to see a friend from Montgomery who works at the store. Being a busy location, and being located at Five Points you see all sorts of people from all walks of life come in and out.
As I was standing at the counter, I saw a man dressed in business attire walk in with a man who looked to be less fortunate than the man who he was walking in with. The business man walked the fragile man up to my friend taking the orders and ask told the man to order what he wanted. The order was placed, the business man paid for the food using his phone, the Chick Fil A app I am guessing, and left the store.
This may not seem like a big deal. Yes, the man just paid for a meal, but he did not have to do that. He wanted to. This resulting in the less fortunate man getting a meal that he would not have gotten before. I believe that's is what the world needs more of people helping other people. However, this is one of the most uncommon sights to see nowadays.
