In the UK DDA they have something called reasonable adjustments where a "service provider" must be able to give a proper service that does not discriminate even if not physically accessible ... you cannot find this act of kindness in any legal document! <strong>Peter: This is the real deal, acts of human kindness that books do not teach and law cannot enforce. This is one of the little mercies that make my life easier. Thnk God for people like him.</strong> Oh my God…this tops it!

I asked a young student who had a cel phone to please call an ambulance for me, he looked at me, ignored me and walked away. It was a Malay guy who frantically looked for help and got me to the hospital. That's why I always think kindness melts away ethnicity and religious differences between people. It is those who have no kindness in their hearts that are indifferent of their surroundings. I do not judge people by their color, their ethnic background nor their religious beliefs. It is always their kindness that I value the most. It is people like the one in your story that we should emulate. <strong>Peter: I am glad to read that someone did assist you in the end. There are many thoughtless people but there is an equal amount of caring people. From my experience, kindness transcends ethnic, religious and age barriers. What makes them unique is that they are willing to lend a hand when the ocassion calls for it when other can just look on indifferently.</strong> After continuos days of exaustion I had a panic attack while getting off the ferry at the pier by the Butterworth side.
