So, I'm from East Germany and was still a small child when the wall came down. When I went to West Berlin for the first time in my life with my parents just days after the borders were opened we went into a big shopping mall. There I was flabbergasted at the variety of sheer stuff to buy and just stood there with an open mouth. An older woman saw me, approached me and asked me if I was "from the East". I could only nod looking up at her. Then she gave me twenty D-Mark and told me to buy something nice for myself.

Absolutely lovely. Old women are the primary source of stories like this. Their kindness should be an inspiration for all the young people that meet with it
I want to add one time I was at the store and an old woman had bought a lot of food and the girl in the counter asked her "can your really carry all this home?" The old woman said "If the brain is stupid, the body suffers" and tried to carry it by herself. I insisted that I could help her carry, it and she allowed me to carry her stuff until we were within a block of where she lived. Proudently catuious as she was, she wanted to finish the last leg on her own. But she did give me three candys for it. She told me in what order to eat them too lol.
Gotta love old ladies
I lost my wallet in the south of Italy 15 years ago... Money, ID, credit card, photos...
I received it in the mail 3 weeks later, nothing was missing. It was anonymous.
I had blocked the credit cards and started to renew my ID, but was so happy for the gesture and the photos
Fuck yeah! We do not steal from eachother, because we are all in it together!
Almost the same happened to me around the same time, but in Germany. I forgot it at some store. A week later someone rang my doorbell, when i checked my wallet was at my doorstep.
Money was gone, but i was so happy to not have to renew all the cards stuff.
I was coming out from hospital with my toddler aged daughter, and saw there was elder man, maybe in 80s coming in and so I went to open the door and hold for him, but he managed first and with big smile held the door for us to get out first.
I loved how happy it seemed to make him
