Sweet Taxi Driver

The Citycab taxi driver that fetched me home last night was just so sweet. Even though he fetched me right to the doorstop, he told me he'll make sure I was safely indoors before he drives off.

It was a small gesture, but it served as a timely reminder for me, that for every idiot I meet out there, there is a nice sincere person that makes the human race still a worthwhile enough species to not wipe out with a single swipe.

Thank God for these little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. It may be little, and I may not remember it after a while, but for that moment, it was a momentous and life-changing experience. It's not always the big things only that are life-changing. There are the little things that shape our lives, by roughening out the sharp edges. Nice.
