I am from Mississippi and Mississippi people are honest and good people. They try to do the right thing, they don’t believe someone’s loss is their gain. If you lose something or need help, Mississippi people feel it is their duty as a member of this planet to help you get your belongings returned. Something we are taught and I as far as I am hearing Mississippi people are still being taught that way – must be the mint julips LOL.

People aren’t bad because they want to be, they really want to do the right thing, however sometimes society beats them down so far that why try to do the right thing when society believes otherwise. I also think some are just crying for help in our very fast, non-emotional train.

Albeit, your exercise in finding your belonging from one taxi driver in a large city such as New York shows determination, passion and caring that all those things you hadn’t done, even though you should have taken the time do so, was not going to get the best of you. Good for you. Sometimes we hate that the universe likes to kick us in the butt to say, “told you so” and ensure they may have been right in the what they warned, but you are going to do enough work to ensure it ain’t so.

Thanks for the comical way to look at what could have been a peaceful sleep at the hotel, to getting your blood pumping through your heart to stay up long enough to all that done. I bet the next day was full of energy as well.

Again, nice post. Thanks for showing that the world hasn’t changed all that much – people still want to lend a hand.
