I am not generally prone to
acts of random kindness, by the time I’ve hesitated to consider the potential
consequences of helping someone - embarrassing an unwilling recipient, somehow making
matters worse, the danger of becoming inextricably embroiled – the opportunity has
usually gone as some more impulsive person has stepped in, however today in
Darlington as I strode up Horsemarket I paused in overtaking a chap in a
wheelchair laboriously propelling himself slowly up the hill and offered him a
push; he accepted unembarrassed, I neither broke his wheelchair nor tipped him
out, and he was quite happy to be left on level ground when we reached High
Row.
