Yesterday Kadizzle found himself in a bind. He was dropped off near Flagstaff while his partner went to hike inside a lava tunnel. It did not take long before Kadizzle realized he did not have his wallet, and had no money with him. Kadizzle needed to get into downtown Flagstaff to conduct some business. The first solution seemed like hitch hiking. So out the thumb went. Kadizzle called his band to see if they could transfer money to him in Flagstaff. Answer was no. Being old and tired Kadizzle spotted a chair in the garbage someone was throwing out. Why not sit on the chair with an outward thumb. Sitting on the chair a nice young woman came out of here apartment with an expensive bottle of water. The nice young lady was concerned if Kadizzle was OK. He was and thanked her profusely. It took a little while and many potential rides went by. An older white van slowed down and went past. The van turned and came back. On old sod buster was driving and had stuff strewn everywhere. This was not a billionaire. Kadizzle was so thankful to the man and wanted to reward him. The old guy said he knew what it was like to be in a bind. Kadizzle got out at the bus stop. Next problem, no bus fare. Kadizzle decided to bum some money for bus fare. A young guy with long hair eventually came along. Kadizzle did have a new pocket knife with him. Kadizzle explained his mess the the young guy and offered to give him the pocket knife for bus fare. The young man gave Kadizzle Bus fare that would provide him bus riding all day. The young guy like everyone else insisted on free help.
It was a great day for learning about the goodness of people. What really stood out was that it was poor people who helped the most. Kadizzle has found this trend, people who have seen hard times are so much nicer and generous than those who have never lived anything but the life of luxury.
Once Kadizzle got to town on the bus a woman gave old Kadizzle some mixed up directions. Kadizzle got eventually to the place he needed to go, but walked an extra mile to get there.
At the very start of this adventure Kadizzle realized it would be a survey in humans helping humans. Most people are good, and kind. Easily 80% of people will help you if you ask. The percentage of nasty people is small, but they make the world miserable. Think about it. Driving on the freeway most people are reasonable, but there is always that one guy who is driving aggressively. The mind concentrates on the aggressor, and forgets about all the people being decent.
Think about the immigrants. 99% of the so called illegals in this country are kind wonderful people. Who does Trump and his gang concentrate on? A few bad people. Trump and the Republicans make insane claims that the majority of illegal people are rapist, murderers, and criminals. It is just not true. As humans we need to see other people as humans and work together.
