Kindness

One of Tennessee Williams’ characters famously remarked on needing “the kindness of strangers” in a quite brutal play.

I thought of the quote today because a young man noticed I had left a heavy load of grocery store things on the floor/ front ground sidewalk after a taxi ride. He carried it up kindly., even though we don’t know each other.

But it really helped because I do have health problems. “The kindness of strangers.”
