everybody has experienced strangers' kindness, so has i. However, in this entry, i'm going to tell you about my bad experience.
it just happened last week. i remember, last Tuesday, i took the bus back home from school, like everyday.The bus was so crowded and obviously, i and many other people couldnt have a seat. standing next to me was a old man. i guess he is about 80 years old. he looked very weak as his age. people around saw him and of cousre they perceived that the old man really need a seat. However, nobody stood up and gave him their seat. i felt so bad. but, what made me angry the most was 4 girls( around 15 to 18 years old) sat front of me and the old man. they looked at him and then pretended like they didnt see him, and so the poor man still stood there, hardly kept balance every time when the bus stopped. i wished i had had a seat and then i could have given it to him. every time when i memorize this story, i feel so so angry.
and...i've learned something new: there is much more unkindness in this world than we think.

Hi snow, well sometimes that happen, I always try to give my metro sit to old women or men, but usually when i take the metro I just finished working out at the gym so I'm really really tierd and also at that time there are always empty sits. I had a bad experience this week because I tried to gave my sit to an old man and he looked at me and sai:"do i ask for your help?". it was very rude, i think that he felt ofended.
i think it's very common and natural to give seat to the elder people. but it seems difficult for some people...
It seems that some people have trouble thinking about other people and what they need. We can't control the behaviour of other people, but we can set a good example for them.
Jorge, I have met same thing as you met.....that makes me some times are afraid to talk to the old people,especially Franch speakers. some times they are really unkind!!
