I work in a call center. I spend five-to-ten hours a day talking to people who are confused, upset, bereaved, and downright pissed the fuck off. It tends to color my view. It brings out my most cynical side. Often it leaves me disgusted with humanity as a whole.
But today, when I came home cranky and annoyed with the world, I sat down, and accidentally clicked on the stumble button on my toolbar, rather than the google button. And my browser showed me THIS.
I smiled.
Every once in a while the universe decides to stop and remind me that humanity does still have a better nature. It isnt always entitlement whores and the ever-shrinking universe of the self centered. Sometimes, people will just do something nice. For no real reason. Not big flashy, I saved your life when I dragged you out of a fire nice. But a three second moment when someone randomly decided to help.
Hold a door. Help a parent get a stroller off the bus. Give someone directions. Do something goddamned nice. Dont even tell me about it, just do something. For my sake.
Because I need to know that somewhere, out there, people are behaving in a way that gives me back my faith in humanity.
