No matter how selfish, unconcerned, or cruel this world has turned out to be, let us never forget that there are still plenty of people whose generous hearts allow them to have courage in the face of danger and tragedy, to help others who needed assistance, to give without asking for anything in return, even to risk their own lives for the sake of those who are in greater peril.
Tales like these restore one's faith to the human spirit. To the unsung heroes of October 19, your names may never be printed, you may never get rewarded, your good deeds may be forgotten even by those who know you by name, but the world is a better place because of people like you. I was not there, and I don't really know what I would've done if I was on your shoes. May your example inspire countless others, as well.

i’ve always felt that random acts of kindness have more impact and significance than planned ones because it implies a choice that could have gone wrong
