Let us know what you enjoy about the show!
A chance encounter on a train becomes a moment to challenge assumptions about nationality and kindness. When an elderly couple attributes my patience to being Canadian, I return to clarify that values, not citizenship, define our interactions with others.
β’ Reassuring an anxious elderly couple that their pace wasn't inconveniencing me
β’ Couple assuming my kindness was because I was Canadian
β’ Returning to explain I'm a dual citizen and my kindness comes from within
β’ Reflecting on how assumptions rob us of authentic connections
β’ Understanding that values, not nationality, shape our interactions
β’ Making choices that create space for reflection and deeper understanding
Remember to live in the moment.
