@esoksb1: While waiting to board a flight, a curious little girl wandered around the gate, saying hi to everyone she could. Then she walked up to an older man sitting by himself. He smiled and asked if she wanted to sit with him. Her mother watched from nearby, expecting a quick hello. Instead, the two of them spent the next 45 minutes together, laughing like old friends. They were different genders, different races, and different generations. It didn't matter to either of them. His name was Joseph. He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw on it. They watched cartoons together. She offered him her snacks. He happily accepted. It wasn't a short little exchange. It went on until it was time to board. Her mother sat nearby, watching. She later shared the moment online. She wrote that watching them made her think about the world she wanted for her daughter. A world where people see each other, not their differences. So much of what we hear says people are deeply divided. Joseph made a decision most people would not make. He put down whatever he had planned for those 45 minutes, and gave his full attention and kindness to a little girl he had never met. He didn't do it for attention. He didn't know anyone would ever hear about it. He was simply kind. Her mother thanked him publicly, and asked him to keep shining his light in the world. The image the world saw was a photo of two strangers at an airport gate. The real story is a little girl who walked up to a stranger to say hi, and a kind man who made her feel like the most important person in the room. See less
