Simple acts of selfless kindness are often the most powerful. Yesterday, as I was standing on the subway, a kind, smartly dressed man tapped me on the shoulder. He had noticed that I was carrying a heavy bag of groceries and insisted that I take his seat. Surprised, I said thank you and sat down. Although I would have been fine standing the rest of the way, it was nice to set the heavy bag on the floor.
It was probably nothing to him. In fact, I’m sure he’s already forgotten all about it. But, I remember his simple act of selfless kindness, and it makes me smile. There’s something else…a few stops later, the kind, smartly dressed man got off at Wall St.
