Kindness At Its Peak- Bus passenger Gives His Own Socks and Shoes To A Shoe-less Man

The man on the right noticed that the man on the left had no shoes when he saw him on a bus in Canada. So he gave him the shoes he was wearing and walked home barefoot
A bus driver in Canada had a 'soul-touching' moment on Saturday when he watched as one selfless passenger gave his shoes and socks to a perfect stranger whose only footwear was a couple of plastic hairnets.
Bus driver Surjit Singh Virk - a 16-year veteran driver for the Coast Mountain Bus Co. in Vancouver - was off duty and returning from the Surrey B.C.’s Vaisakhi parade when he witnessed the random act of kindness.
Singh Virk managed to snap a few photos of the exchange and shared them on social media.

This is what I would call true religion, its not about going to church every Sunday or mosque every Friday.

'It made my heart melt,' he told QMI Agency, a Canadian media company. 'He just took his shoes and socks off and said, "You can take these, don't worry about me — I live close by and can walk."
'People usually don't care or even look at other people on the bus, they didn't even want to sit beside this guy because of how he was dressed.'
The kind-hearted man who selflessly handed over his shoes to his less-fortunate fellow passenger was reached by phone, but asked the news outlet to not identify him by name because his Islamic faith requires that charitable acts be done anonymously.
According to QMI, the man also was reluctant about allowing the use of his photo, but ultimately agreed.

'I felt bad for the guy,' the generous 27-year-old Surrey resident said. 'He was wearing plastic hairnets on his feet. I was only about a two-minute walk from home, so I thought I could give him my shoes.'

Can you do this? Maybe I dont need you to answer that question but go ahead and prove it to yourself that you can help someone no matter how painful it might be.
