This past week, I witnessed an incident in a retail store that caused me to pause and reflect for a few moments. A hurried worker dropped a box of paper and gift cards that she was carrying. One of her co-workers stopped to help her pick up the spilled contents of the box and I overheard this woman say, “Thank you, that is so kind of you.” The co-worker helping her made a statement about it being, “no big deal,” and the woman replied, “No, it is rare for other people to be kind nowadays.”
