Through Fear to Kindness

"Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will."
~ W. Clement Stone

A woman I know stopped to grab lunch at a Whole Foods.  As she was walking back to her car, a man asked her for money to eat at the nearby Wendy's.  She didn't stop and continued to her car.  As she thought about why she did not help him, it occurred to her that it was fear, not necessarily a rationale fear, but fear nonetheless.  She got in her car and drove to the Wendy's and saw him outside.  She told him to wait because she was going to get him a gift card, so she went through the drive-thru and did just that.
