I was in the bagel joint this morning when I witnessed something extraordinarily rare and wonderful: a young man thanked the preparer of his breakfast sandwich and wished them a good day, and when his passing through the queue caused an overhead sign to swing, a woman in line raised her hand and stopped it.
On an ordinary day, any other kid would never raise his eyes from the ground or speak, and a woman would back away from a swinging sign. This was a positive experience.
I felt so good seeing such things, I left my change as a tip for the bagel staff.
Things should happen like today more often.
