Bus driver stops bus to check on crying child [View all]

[Liberal_in_LA]

Grandin was working, remember -- driving his bus along his route with passengers heading to wherever it is they needed to go. But he put all that aside for a moment when he saw this kid crying. Something could be very wrong -- and he was going to take the time to find out if he could help. As it turned out, 10-year-old Emilia Behrendtz was upset because of a conflict she had with some other children. Grandin comforted her, and realizing it wasn't serious, he got back into his bus and drove without saying a word to the passengers.

One of those on the bus, Emma Gustafsson, captured the moment on her cellphone camera and shared it to Twitter. People are calling him a hero. I love this story. I love the fact that this person decided to do something for someone who seemed to need some help. He stopped what he was doing -- his job -- and did it. Because human life is more important than getting everyone to their job on time. This, I believe. Though people complain all the time, especially in major cities, when a subway or bus is delayed due to a sick passenger. That passenger doesn't want to be sick -- they want to be on their way to work just like everyone else. But something happened -- life, maybe something serious to derail that life -- and we all need to slow it down and respect that. We all need to concern ourselves more with what matters -- kindness, care, concern, humanity -- than whatever happens on our daily grind.
