There's hope for us yet...

I just saw the best display of humanity in a long time.

So we're in line at Tim Hortons (mmmm, coffee....) and there's this kinda homeless lookin' guy sitting finishing a smoke by the entrance. And he's muttering his order....large coffee....4...4 sugars...a plain bagel with cream cheese....garlic herb cream cheese.

And there's this business type lady standing in line just staring at him. STARING. Like he's got the key to life. And then she walks into the Timmies.
Dude finishes his smoke and comes in. Then lines up next to the lady (who is carrying a Starbucks coffee..tee hee). They get up to the cash and he orders while she watches. She helps him with his order a bit. She then pays for him and then she leaves!

She passes me as she's leaving and I flash her what I now think was the cheesiest grin ever. She kinda laughs and walks out.

Why can't we always be so good to one another? I know that's so simple, but really, why not???

I've been telling everyone I know that story. It just makes me think that some days the human race doesn't completely suck ass.
