Just a small note. Would like to share something. I came across this news article online earlier (an asian newspaper site). I don't know if the person mentioned in this article is a Christian or not.... But I thought what he did or tried to do.. was amazing.. To try to put others safety and well being first .. instead of oneself.. https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2020/04/08/incredible-journey-sabah-man-walks-120km-home-to-kota-marudu-after-returning-from-japan-picks-up-dog-along-the-way#cxrecs_s Just wanted to share thats all. Thought it was kinda amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A three days journey. According to the article he was supposed to undergo a 2 week quarantine, but rather than take any public transport or family come pick him up, he set out on foot. Along the way he met a dog that adopted him and the two walked to his destination. His reason for walking was so that he wanted to make sure that he would not be sharing the virus with anyone else. Upon arriving at his destination, he put himself in quarantine right away. According to the article his family hasn't gotten to visit him just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website link is to a reputable newspaper. But I understand being careful about clicking links on the internet. There are a lot of weird sites and even viruses etc out there.. ack On 4/8/2020 at 5:24 PM, appy said: Thanks very much appy There has been a small correction in the article. His hometown was possibly about 120 km away.. but he apparently walked about 70 km over three days or so.. before his family member found out he was walking back and someone brought a vehicle to him so he could drive back by himself the rest of the way On 4/8/2020 at 5:24 PM, appy said: His reason for walking was so that he wanted to make sure that he would not be sharing the virus with anyone else. This is what I found so amazing appy.... That someone would be willing to walk such a long distance to get home.. instead of taking public transport or getting a ride with relatives.... just so that they would not accidently pass a virus to someone else.... even complete strangers. To me that is like putting the well being of others first before ourselves. Even if that means having to walk for days.... (And he did not even know if he had the virus or not.... Yet did not want to risk the lives or well being of others ) Amazing! Edited April 9, 2020 by just_abc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but the script is read from right to left.. so it is actually.. a b c ). But it is not hebrew though. It is an old script of an asian language. The script possibly originated from arabic script.. so there are some similarities with some arabic letters of the alphabet.. but also some differences too. Ps welcome back to worthy!
