THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS A Wising Up Anthology

Heather Tosteson and Charles D. Brockett, Editors

The kindness of strangers . . . It isn't earned. It isn't a right. It cannot happen in the same way in the same place twice. It can change your life. Even if we sometimes can't remember it clearly in times of conflict or unmet need, we have all experienced the kindness of strangers, either in the giving or receiving, most often in both. It makes a difference, it resets us somehow, so that the give and take of circumstance, our own vulnerabilities and fears, are less consuming, world-defining. It presumes the simplest and most radical kind of similarity: shared humanity and good faith. It isn't the least naive. It stands up to scrutiny, indeed expands, flowers with the attention we give it, even when the act is small, the consequences not what we intended.
