I read this story yesterday about Cameron Lyle, a shotputter in his last year of college. A week ago, he chose to spend a couple of days in the hospital to help save a life of a stranger he will never meet.
To do so, he had to give up the highlight track meets of his athletic career.
He is being called a hero, but says he never thought twice about it, and maintains anyone else would have done the same.
Don’t we all just need a boost of human generosity at a sacrifical level to keep us going? It reminds us of the tremendous good will of the human spirit. In the middle of a busy week, where it can seem that a lot more is going wrong than right–it reminds us that there are kind people in the world. People who are kind for no other reason than it is the right thing to do.
In the middle of a busy week, I was warmed by Cameron’s story.
Happy hump day!
