I made a new friend and helped somebody in need. It wasn't dramatic. It wasn't world-changing. It wasn't even life-changing. Nobody even knows it happened but the two of us and I'm not raising a big fuss about it. But I held her while she cried and did something completely selfless. It's possibly the best thing I've done with myself in months and makes it very difficult to get too upset about anything else going on.
The real human moments are what help us to keep a handle on life. Those who wall themselves off risk losing that.
