Taking the meaning home with you.

11/25-Today while driving to U of H to pick up my girlfriend, Shinthia, I stopped at a light and there was a man that was going door to door knocking on windows and generally being ignored as is unfortunately the typical response in this world. I was about to do the same thinking he was begging for money, but as he was turning away from my window I stopped and "rolled" my window down, (now that we don't physcially roll our windows down is that still the term? I wonder if that would even make sense to a person born recently) and I called out to him. He stopped and quickly told me his story, he was a diabetic several walking miles from home and a could feel himself a bit low in his blood sugar. He explained that his place was only several miles down the road. Since I was headed down the same way to U of H I agreed to give this elder man a lift. This isn't my first time doing this in fact several years ago a similar thing happened actually in a similar part of town but not the same guy. Anyways I accepted and it was it was almost dejavu from my last hitchhiker, we talked about the missing kindness to strangers that used to exist but was gone from this modern world. He wished me well for my future, and he went inside his house. What made me so happy about this occasion was that I haven't changed I was glad and proud of myself that this part of me had not been turned off or become jaded from the rough environment that I work in. It is so easy to say that it I do my duty at my job and that is my limit and anything outside of that is just beyond your "scope of practice" as it were. But I was just glad to know that so far so good and I intend to keep it that way.
