Being Human

The nice thing about people is that sometimes they are so unexpectedly human. They do things that surprise you, taking you from frustration to grateful in a second. Last night, the taxi we'd hailed pulled up and a woman ran across the street and got in. The driver pointed towards us and she got out, giving us a sour look as she walked away.

On a business level, a fare is a fare; but this man went out of his way to be human to us. Sometimes this world doesn't seem so lost after all.
