An act of kindness each
day that in turn saved your life.
A Beautiful story....
"A
lady worked at a meat distribution factory. One day, when she finished with her
work schedule, she went into the meat cold room (Freezer) to inspect something,
but in a moment of misfortune, the door closed and she was locked inside with
no help in sight. Although she screamed and knocked with all her might, her
cries went unheard as no one could hear her. Most of the workers had already
gone, and outside the cold room it's impossible to hear what was going on
inside.
Five
hours later, whilst she was at the verge of death, the security guard of the
factory eventually opened the door. She was miraculously saved from dying that
day. When she later asked the security guard how he had come to open the door,
which wasn't his usual work routine.
His
explanation: "I've been working in this factory for 35 years, hundreds of
workers come in and out every day, but you're one of the few who greet me in
the morning and say goodbye to me every night when leaving after work. Many
treat me as if I'm invisible. Today, as you reported for work, like all other
days, you greeted me in your simple manner 'Hello'. But this evening after
working hours, I curiously observed that I had not heard your "Bye, see
you tomorrow".
Hence,
I decided to check around the factory. I look forward to your 'hi' and 'bye'
every day because they remind me that I am someone. By not hearing your
farewell today, I knew something had happened. That's why I was searching
everywhere for you...". It was the act of kindness each day that in turn
saved her life.
What a beautiful story, the kindness that the lady gave out returned to her in her greatest time of need.
