As a religion teacher at Salpointe Catholic High School, I am constantly challenging my students to affirm the inherent goodness in people when they show it. After a simple bike ride on the university campus, I am compelled to give such credit where credit is due.
I lost my water bottle during my trip, and I came to realize it was missing as I made my turnaround on the Mall. My only hope was to backtrack and see if I could spot it on one of the UA thoroughfares. Well, no sooner had I turned a couple of corners from Old Main, I saw my lost item. Someone had taken the time to collect my property and place it on the curb so that I might more easily see it.
No one had to do this. Indeed, it might have been more fun to steal, toss, or otherwise destroy this lost bottle. Such simple acts of kindness should not be underestimated, and in that spirit, I would like to thank the anonymous person for helping me. It was a job well done, and in a small way affirms my belief in our inherent goodness.
To borrow a line from the current single, "Whoever You Are" (by Geggy tah): "All I wanna do is to thank you, even though I don't know who you are!"
Thank you!
Brother Christopher J. Kulig, O.Carm.
