Five Things that Renew My Faith in Humanity

I am deeply troubled by the lack of civility that has become commonplace in our culture. Television. Radio. Internet. There is no escape from the barrage of sarcasm, insults and crude negativity that now permeate our collective attitude about our fellow man. All is not lost.  I present you with five everyday happenings that renew my faith in humanity...

1. People who let you cut them in line in the supermarket because you have less items than they do.
2. People who wave their hand to say thank-you when they merge in front of you in traffic.
3. Watching a line of cars part like the Red Sea to allow an ambulance pass through in an emergency.
4. Encountering children, especially teenagers, who address adults as sir and maam.
5. Finding unexpired coupons on the shelf in the grocery store that were "paid forward" by another shopper who couldn't use them.

I'll have to keep thinking on this one and add to it as I go...
