As Mohammed Basha walked through the parking lot, all he could think about was the dire diagnosis he had handed his patient Jimmy: pancreatic cancer. Just then, he noticed an elderly gentleman handing tools to someone working under his stalled car. That someone was Jimmy. “Jimmy, what are you doing?” Dr Basha yelled out. Jimmy dusted off his pants. “My cancer didn’t tell me not to help others, Doc,” he said, before waving at the old man to start the car. The engine roared to life. The old man thanked Jimmy and drove off. Then Jimmy got into his car and took off as well.
Take-home message: Kindness has no limits and no restrictions. Being kind does mean one has it all figured out, or has no problems of their own. It only demonstrates a strong wealth of empathy and thoughtfulness.
