There's a lot of moaning minnies around who complain that our country (and this will be the same in many countries I'm sure) is going to the dogs, lacks manners, doesn't respect this or that blah blah blah. Well. it's the little things that far outweigh what those moaning minnies perceive. As I was out walking this afternoon, there was an elderly couple waiting to cross the road; she was much more infirm, stooped and had a stick. They waited patiently and the traffic continued to trundle by. Just then a little hatchback came along and the driver stood on the brakes, allowing them to cross. And because he'd stopped on one side of the road, then the traffic on the other side felt obliged to stop and let the couple cross. And off they tottered with a cheery wave.
It made me smile, and I felt reassured there was good in the heart of at least one of my fellow creatures
