Why giving someone an apple was such a big deal for me
--
This is a story about how you can never tell how your actions affect the world around us.
I wrote an article in about an hour (a big contrast to the many hours that go into most of my articles). It had a “story” element to it (which people like), so I submitted it to The Coffeelicious, a publication with over 130,000 followers, all over the world:
“I gave the man an apple. Then here’s what happened.”
It’s already gotten 51 likes, which is huge for the kinds of article I write.
I’ll never know how many people will read it. But I know that it’ll give anyone who does a small nudge toward feeling better about themselves. As I put it:
It was a moment of grace, genuine, totally unrelated to having an iPhone in my hand. (Moments of grace never involve iPhones.)
I hope you’ll give it a few minutes of your time. I believe it’ll be worth it.
