The little things....

I was catching the bus the other day from the city back to broadway. 2 old ladies got onto the bus and was sitting at the front. One of the old ladies started coughing really bad and sounded like she was having problems breathing because she was coughing so bad. This went on for a few minutes when this young girl who was sitting behind the woman, tapped her on the shoulder and offered her some water. How often are we too busy with our lives to care about other people? More often then not, when we're travelling to and from work, all we think about is ourselves. No you don't want to make eye contact with a stranger, nor do you want to strike up a conversation with the person sitting next to you because that is improper. We should all keep to ourselves and mind out own business. Thats the way life is. But to see that girl make such a simple gesture proves that not everyone is like that. Not everyone is so engrossed with their own lives that they don't care about others. I thought the girl was pretty when she first got on the bus. But after seeing her simple gesture, she was stunningly beautiful...
