[show more] When I least expected it, someone appeared in my life. I find it truly amazing how one person can affect another's life so tremendously. The "pebble in the pond" theory is true.

[show more] I saw this lady getting slapped around by her boyfriend or what ever he was on the bus. When I got on he was already at it, not repetitively granted but with enough force I was wary of getting close. This is where my brain kicked in and said 'Did you like being smacked around?' More or less I just walked to the back of the bus and asked the guy if he was finished abusing his wife. He got up, a little drunk I could tell by his swagger, and proceeded to tell me that this was his women and to go get my own. I laughed whole-heartily and said I prefer teh touch of a man. I never saw someone go sick so quick. I think his alcohol curdled in his stomach. By this time the bus still hadn't left the station and the driver started towards the back of the bus. The girlfriend started to tell him to sit down and be quite. He turned around and told her to shut up and started to swing at her again. I grabbed his hand in mid swing and another passenger grabbed his other arm just as the bus driver came up and ask the guy to leave. Thing that got me was that the girl got off the bus with him. I think I should stop listening to the voice in my head. [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 2 votes 32 pts

[show more] This even changed me drastically. in most ways for the better, but in some ways not. Sometimes I feel l ike I will never again reach the levels of joy or happiness I used to acheive prior to this event.
