It was rush hour. The train was packed. Then in came an elderly man and because all the seats were occupied, there was nothing he could do but to stand. As he held on to the pole, the much younger folks occupying the seats in front of him either 'slept' or looked elsewhere.
It was fucking disgusting.
Have they no compassion or respect for the elderly? Would they die if they offered their seat to a person who needed it more?
Then suddenly, a woman sitting nearby disembarked and i thought, 'Hey, maybe the guy standing in front of the vacant seat will offer it to the old man!'. And offered he did. But to another man on his left. One who didn't need the seat. I don't know if the guy was being ignorant or if he was simply racist. But i do know that he's one fucking a-hole.
Still standing quietly on the guy's right, all that the old man could do was wait for another vacant seat. And that is if none of the younger jerks beat him to it.
Finally, a man stood and gave up his seat to the patient old man. Ah, all hope's not lost. At least there is still a tiny glimpse of kindness in this world.
