Gold is not only found in Africa

Post by Rabshoole »

The best Gold in Africa is found often in their hearts.
-
A Kenyan elite runner passes water to a dehydrated disabled Chinese runner who she saw suffering. This delayed her from winning. She became 2nd in the race not only losing the 1st position but also a US$10,000 cash prize. It's not all about winning.

Its good to see people are putting others before their very own success. The question here, would you have done the same in this situation ?

I was really proud of the Kenyan Lady, God bless her soul.

I think i would have done the same considering that winning is not everything.

He knew he didn't have any hands when he started the race so I'd probably end up running past him as I debated the fact

If I saw a random person on the street without hands struggling to open something I'd go up to them straight-up and offer my help. Now in this situation:

1. They decided to run a marathon
2. Someone handed them the bottle of water - was it unopened I wonder
3. If they didn't hand them the bottle of water, did she randomly take it upon herself to decide they were thirsty? - was she running behind him the whole time
4. THEY DECIDED TO RUN THE MARATHON - if he's thirsty he can stop and someone else can help him


His needs are more of a luxury than a necessity and one you can't afford to indulge when you yourself are running the marathon. Honestly speaking - kindness has no time or place but this is not kindness, it's foolishness.
