What's your biggest fear? Heights? Spiders? Drowning? Elevators? No matter what your deepest fear is, chances are you have a good reason.
For one man in Holyoke, Massachusetts, his fear is escalators.
The story has been shared almost 200,000 times after Paula Picard took a picture of what went down.
"A few people started gathering, waiting to get on," Picard wrote. "This young man offered the simplest kindness."
A man had stepped forward, reaching out his arm and saying, "Can I help you, sir?"
"He quietly started to explain to the young man that he had gotten stuck on an escalator once and was a little scared," Picard recalled. "The young man gently offered an assurance, they looked at each other eye to eye for just a moment and the older man accepted his arm."
A little redemption for the suffering human soul 😊 The older man was paused at the top of an escalator and a few people...
