[Fredslist] The Mitzvah

[Richard G. Fromewick]

That story rings true and should go to Reader's Digest; although they might want to change Mitzah to a "kindness".

I am always moved by such small acts of kindness.  It says to me people are identifying with one another and trying to make things right, or better, and that is the best part of being human.  There's nothing small about that.  Thanks, Dana.

The Mitzvah
Yesterday morning in the Rail Road train to work, people were a little
frustrated & cranky.  Due to the severe weather, some trains had passed by
and our train was more crowded than usual.  So it was more noticeable when
the woman who sat down across the aisle from me told the conductor that she
didn't have her ticket and he had to charge her Metro-North's penalty for
buying a ticket on the train -- totaling a whopping $12.50 for her 20
minute ride.  She complied.  But as the conductor stepped away, another
commuter, sitting further away & who also witnessed the exchange, cried
out, "That's too much!  Take one of my tickets instead!"  All in the
vicinity of the crowded car watched & listened as he brought her the $4.50
ticket and the Conductor returned $8.00 to her.  I thought they must have
known one another, but it was simply a matter of making a Mitzvah - an act
of kindness, from one stranger to another.  It was a lovely way to start
the day!
