Have you known/heard of an episode where a good deed or an act of kindness has changed a person's view of the world?

Solution

There is no dearth of such episodes where good deeds or acts of kindness changed persons' views of the world. Once upon a time a saint lived in an Indian forest. In his ashram he had a beautiful horse which was the fastest of' its time. Whenever the saint rode the horse it used to talk with air. Its fame spread soon all around.

A bandit got very much interested in the saint's horse, He went to the saint to buy the horse at any price but he refused to sell the horse. But the bandit did not give in.

One day disguised as a saint he lay groaning on the path, the saint was riding on his steed. He signalled and the rider saint stopped near him. He pretended to be suffering and asked for a ride. The saint helped him ride first and the disguised robber made the horse gallop leaving behind the saint. He revealed his robber's identity.

The saint called him back and requested him not to tell this incident to anyone otherwise nobody would be prepared to help a sufferer or a person in need.

This theme changed the life of the bandit totally. He returned the horse to the saint at once. One day he became a prominent saint in India.
