The doors opened and an exhausted looking pregnant lady entered. People buzzed all around her, not really shoving, but not really taking care either. Then I saw this old man slowly getting up and offering her a seat, which she gratefully took. The fact that an old man (and not me, or any other able adult) was courteous anough to offer his seat (which he definitely needed) just shook something awake in myself.Liyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044426041937026894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-57577981786681861062009-06-15T22:24:12.708-07:002009-06-15T22:24:12.708-07:00What a great interview!
