Two people walk out of a building and into a story

The meeting of two people can be quite profound in certain situations. We meet new people everyday, yet don't realise how those meetings can effect our lives and the lives of those around us.

The meeting of Nkosi Johnson and Gail was such a profound meeting. One needed love and the other had love to give. Nkosi, an AIDS victim was actually the one who had love to give. He showed South Africa what the meaning of love is. True, unconditional love does not discriminate and cares for everyone, AIDS victim or not.

Nkosi's story is so special for me not only because he had the courage to change South Africa's perceptions about the disease, but also because he would've been my age, but with an even brighter future if it had not been for the desease that took him away.

Nkosi said in his speech in 2000, "care for us and accept us - we are all human beings." Gail could do this after her meeting with the boy, so why can't we. Try to see meetings with new people as exceptional or special, you might be able to change a life the way Gail did.
