Kindness of Strangers.
Benefits of change
I used to live selfishly: all my decisions were made putting my own needs and wants as the first considerations. It seems rather corny to say that one moment changed my life, but I honestly feel that it did have a huge impact on me.

I was on my lunch break and had left the office to get something to eat. On the way, I saw a busker. This wasn't something out of the ordinary; there was always someone smart enough to busk near the office buildings during lunch.

As I walked past him, holding some coins in my hand, I thought to myself that he was only going to use the money to feed his addiction to drugs or alcohol. He looked like that type-young and ragged. Then I stopped, rather shocked at myself. What was I going to spend the money on? I only was going to feed my addiction to Coca-Cola or chocolate.I realised I had no right to place myself above him just because he was busking.

I stopped and dropped all the coins into his hat and he smiled at me.I watched for a while.As selfish as it sounds, I expected something more from that moment.I wanted a natural high or even a feeling of happiness, but nothing happened.So then I smiled and walked off, remembering why I never did things like that.It was a waste of money.

At the end of the day as I walked to the train station, I saw the busker packing up.I watched him pick up the hat and empty the money into a small plastic bag. Then he walked over to a cafe counter and poured the entire contents into a tin collecting for a brushfire appeal.

He was busking for charity. I realised just how selfish I had been.I took someone to take my money and donate it to charity for me to realise how easy it is for me to do the same. I now donate any change I have to charity tins and enjoy the feeling of happiness for the rest of the day. You could say I'm now addicted to the feeling of giving. - Amy Taylor
