Dear Editor: Thank you for including the story about Mr. Sullivan’s heartwarming encounter (March 19) with a kind Muslim taxi driver. I’d love to be able to read more stories about acts of kindness from people of all walks of life.

As someone who works and commutes two and from Manhattan, I can attest to the challenges people face in ‘simple’ things like taking the subway, walking in crowded streets and hailing a cab. It is often hard to find any glimmer of kindness in the city that never sleeps.

Like St. Therese, it is often the little things, the smallest acts of kindness that make the biggest and longest lasting impression on people. The message to be kind always to everyone and don’t make snap judgments, is a message that never gets old and should be repeated often.
