So this happened yesterday and put a smile on my face. I'm on the bus home. I happen to get a bit of dust in my throat and I start coughing to clear it. Then, totally unexpectedly, a man getting off the bus says "I hope you feel better ma'am." Note that I hadn't spoken to him (or anyone else) during that trip, so he had no reason to engage with me.
I thanked him but here's the thing. He was homeless. Big backpack, cardboard sign, everything. It was starting to snow and he could be at real risk if he didn't find somewhere warm before the sun went down. I was sitting there in my work uniform with my wheelie, headed home to my cozy apartment. This man was in a much worse situation than me. Yet he took time to wish me good health.
Makes me all warm and fuzzy. There are genuinely good people at every level of society, from the highest to the lowest.
