So today something happened that restored my faith in the human kind.
Here's the story short and snappy:
A friend and I caught the train back to the university we're at, only a 12 minute journey and there were no double seats only single ones available so we stood up which was fine.
A small man that was sat about 4 rows away came towards us, he had trouble walking so used a stick. It was obviously quite hard for him to walk any distance. He came to us and said 'Take the seats take the seats'. Of course we said no because of his condition and we were utterly stunned but he refused and walked on through the train to find another seat.
We went to sat down and just couldn't believe what a lovely man he was. In his condition to give up a seat so 2 girls could sit together.
It honestly warmed my heart and made me feel so happy, nothing as lovely as that has happened to me in some time.
We caught up with him once the train stopped and said thank you once again.
It makes me sad that so many of the older generation talks about the younger generation as if we're awful people who commit crimes and don't respect anyone. I give respect happily, but only to those who deserve it. If an older woman shoves past me but expects me to move out of her way because she is my elder she does not gain respect from me. But this man did and I wish I knew his name so I could publish it to all and know how lovely he was.
Anyway I hope that wasn't boring but it warmed the cockles of me 'art. hahaa
Bye just much love xx
