Almost lost my phone today to a pickpocket.
I have never imagined that this could happen to me. I was always protected and I trust people enough to be kind, especially in my neighborhood.
From one instance like this, my naive filter has somehow vanished and allow me to see the bad in the world. That not everyone can spare me even if I only try to do good.
And yet, this experience made me have faith in humanity at the same time. A bystander saw the whole scene and decided to take action. I really appreciate him making an effort to return my phone to me.
As he explained to me what happened, I was too stunned to speak. I don't even know if I have expressed my gratitude properly to his kind heart. My mind was trying to process what happened. Is it the evil act or the kindness that made me speechless?
I guess this is one of the moments where you're totally in between. All I know is that this might keep me up tonight.
