13 Stories That Prove the Road of Kindness Isn’t Always Full of Flowers

A guy snatched the purse of a very pregnant woman and took off running. Without thinking, I sprinted after him for 2 blocks and caught up. I returned the purse to the woman.

But instead of thanking me, she started screaming and shouting at me and said, ”Are you stupid or are you blind? He also pulled off my diamond necklace! Why didn’t you bring that too?”

I was already out of breath, but her reaction left me completely stunned. I just stared at her, speechless. Without another word, she slung her purse over her shoulder, turned away, and walked off without looking back.

For a long time, I regretted helping her. But now, I take comfort in knowing that at least I stopped a thief that day. Maybe, just maybe, he thought twice before stealing again.
