A Sea of Kindness

This is my entry for the #wonderthemovie challenge, but even after it's judged I'm going to keep it up, hoping maybe it will inspire someone to spread kindness.
When I was faced with the challenge of writing about a time when kindness prevailed in just 500 words, I thought it was going to be simple. I thought it was something I could whip up in a few hours.
Oh, how wrong I was. Capturing the power of kindness isn't something that can be done, period, so trying to do it in a few hours is impossible.
I wrote so many pros of what kindness means, but nothing satisfied me. So then I realized maybe it isn't what kindness means that should be written about, but maybe it's was kindness can do. So I decided to just tell a story of kindness, instead of trying to define it. I told a story that I hope will inspire others to spread kindness around. In my life, I have been blessed to be surrounded by such kind people. But not everyone receives that chance and it's our job to give that chance to those who don't have it.
It takes only five seconds of kindness to change a life.

This story is under 500 words and is inspired on a true event :)
