we live in a beautiful world, sometimes.

last night i saw for myself how wonderful people can be.
the extent that they would go for a mere stranger.
i was overwhelmed and touched by generosity and hospitality.
which was something that i have not experienced in a long way to come.
the first time i met them, they immediately asked me for my telephone number
and invited me over to their bakery, even offering to pick me up.
the first thought that came to my mind: this couple is really friendly, maybe a little too friendly.
and it was strange.

what was strange is actually not strange at all.
cause this is what people can be.
i reckon cause we tend to focus and get carried away by the " evils" of the world,
such as finding hard to trust the person next to us, thinking that there are always motives behind every relationship/friendship, etc.
it slipped our minds that there are beautiful parts as well.

i am absolutely sure that this positivity towards human nature would not last long,
considering how i am,
considering how the world is (just flip over the papers and you see tons of it),
but i am just happy to know that it still exists.
