Seeing the Goodness in People

I was travelling on BUS 176, quite absorbed in my own thoughts and daydreaming when I noted the amount of people on the BUS. Both teenagers and older folk. It was somewhere in the afternoon and a weekday to boot, so the crowd surprised me.

What was more surprising, I noted that several of the teens (young men) attempted to give up their seats when the old folks boarded the bus. The scene is so rare (to me) that it stayed on my mind since. It's evidence that the younger generation isn't all lost to self-absorped 'me me me' syndrome so common in Singapore.

Then there was the other day, on the same BUS 176, where the bus driver was SO nice! One of the passengers couldn't find his link card and when he finally did, the driver let him drop off at the traffic light, even though the bus was already past the stop. Same driver also reminded an elderly couple with their grandson, which stop to alight.

It made my day just to see such kindness extended to others!
