A Truly Inspirational Sight

Life and people never cease to amaze and inspire me to become a better person.

What I just witnessed may not seem like much to some but it truly made me feel better about mankind.
As I was waiting at a traffic light, I noticed a car that had stalled out and could not power itself up a small incline into the apartments its occupants were going to. Two men got out and began to push it up the incline and were having a noticeably difficult time. Then from behind a BMW, yes a BMW, and not an ugly one either, pulled up behind it and the two men moved aside. The BMW proceeded to touch bumpers and pushed the older, less new, much less attractive stalled vehicle up the incline and into a parking stall. He then turned around without any fanfare and proceeded on his way down the road. I don't know this for a fact but it appeared that the BMW owner did not even know the men in the stalled car. He simply saw fellow human beings in need and sacrificed his time and potentially his beautiful car to help them in their moment of severe need.
I hope this will inspire someone out there to take the time to help someone in their moment of great need. If it does then that wonderful person in that beautiful BMW will have helped many more people than he will ever know.
God bless that man and this great country.
Now go help someone.
