Old movie title starring Jack Lemmon.
Today my Sikh neighbour’s grown-up son came over while my wife was shovelling the front driveway with two feet of drifted snow and basically took over and did most of the job. (I did the back and side earlier.)
I find that I am pleasantly surprised by our neighbours, whom we seldom see, how they come through for this 74 year-old couple. It is always surprising how many people will selflessly jump in and help of their own free will, their best/better sides rising to a challenge and the moment.
It is in moments like this that one’s faith in humanity and ordinary people is restored all over again. One has to be careful not to negatively over-generalize about human nature, eh?
