Can We Care For Strangers?

How often do we care for others? We all care for our friends, family, relatives etc. But do we care for strangers whom we meet on the road, in local train, or inside a mall? We can win hearts of people whom we have not even met if we care for them. Don't believe it? Read on. This is a true incident.

My colleague Vivek was working in Delhi earlier. He received a phone call from a bank whether he was interested in their credit-card. He told the caller (a girl) politely that he already had one, and was satisfied with it. After few days, the call was repeated, informing him that the credit-card on offer had new features, and he can try it. He again told politely that he did not want the card.

Few days later the same girl called up. She again asked him whether he was considering trying their new card. This time her voice was a bit husky. He again declined the offer, but asked her whether she was suffering from cold. She acknowledged that she did, and then she broke-down on the phone! She told that for the first time a customer had been so polite to her, and she was indeed shedding tears of joy, realizing that somebody (apart from her family) did care for her.

Can we not care for strangers…..?
