I suppose it is characteristic of humans that people are quick to criticize and spread gossip without questioning whether the hate they put out is justified or not. It is with this in mind that I would like to share a story about an individual of whom most are not aware, of these stories because the media have not published them. For those of you who question what follows. You can “go look it up” on Snopes or Google. Here are a few stories I’d like to share with you.
In 1986 a farmer, Leonard Hill, took his own life on the morning his farm was to go to a courthouse auction, believing his life insurance would pay enough to save the plantation that has been in his family for over 100 years. A complete stranger in Queens, New York read about this story & paid off the remaining $77,000 mortgage.
