We all search for that moment of kindness and thoughtfulness, for we are naturally loving and caring. It is a pernicious reality that faces us for the most part, however. From the time we open our eyes in consciousness, we are presented with situations that belie this fact. They cast doubt on this truth. Negative imagery, angry cars, and gruff people are like foot soldiers reinforcing the gloom in society – its lack of empathy and caring. But just when it seems overwhelming, there is a spark of hope. We come across that refreshingly honest individual, that happy clerk, and the ever-present joyous child.
