Have you ever caught yourself in a situation where you meet people you do not know, and they turn out to be people you cannot forget in your entire life?
I have, and it is true.
For someone who is introvert like me, meeting a new person or meeting new people sometimes bring me into an awkward moment or awkward moments which many time I hardly solve. It happens simply I just meet the person or the people, and I do not know every thing about this person or these people. Once I can get along with this person or these people, every thing will change. There will be no “feeling awkward” at all!
Okay, now….
I want to share my story about meeting a group of four young men while I went to Jerusalem with my family five years ago. It happened on December 26, 2012. The moment itself took a place on a balcony in St. Peter in Gallicantu.
Since the site was full with tourists, my father decided to go other place of St. Peter in Gallicantu. We followed him, and decided to visit the balcony in the site area.
We were not alone at the balcony. There were a group of four young men and a Father who also visited the balcony. As I told you before, it gave me an awkward feeling. I just did not know what am I supposed to do in there except went to a side of the balcony and looked to the sky.
After I looked to the sky, I wanted to go to a side of the balcony where my family were standing. I did not know that the group of four young men were not far away from where I stood. One of the group of four young men stopped my steps and asked me to take a photo of them with the view of The Dome of the Rock as the background of the photo. The photo that I took was not good enough, so my brother helped me to take the photo. Then, out of nowhere, my mother saw the “taking picture” moment and asked me whether I wanted to take a picture with them or not. As far as I can remember, I responded by looking my mother with as I surprise with what my mother had said and said, “Mom, what are you doing?” to her. The four group of four young men were telling my mother that they had to go from there.
In the end, the group of four young men and I were having a photo together. I said my gratitude to them, and one of them sent my gratitude back.
There was one thing that I forgot to do while I was with the group of four young men. I forgot to ask their names and where they are living.
But I am glad to know that the people we do not know can give you a different point of view about life. There is no way for me to forget the group of four young men until today. What they had done to me was simple. They showed me about what generosity is by willing to have a photo with me. They also showed me that a person can change someone’s life by being nice to another person.
If you ask me if I want another opportunity to meet the group of four young men, I would like to have another opportunity to know them and also thank them for what they did to me five years ago. Hopefully, I can befriend with them.
But for now, I cannot imagine what would I be if I were not meeting them five years ago.
These are the group of four young men that I have been talked about.
Thank you for reading the post!
