Some wonderful revelations came to me this evening.
I ride a jeepney to work on Tuesday nights. Tonight, a guy went ahead of me in boarding the vehicle. He stepped in and then decided to take the empty seat near the entry so he took a half step back and bumped into me. He said he was surprised. I was pissed off.
A little further on, more passengers boarded and the long bench where I was seated became full. The lady beside me was pulling out loose change for her fare. Her arm was actually crossing over my upper torso but she continued. Again, I was annoyed by a fellow passenger.
Finally, a blind man boarded and the guy at the end had no choice but to move over and give the blind man his seat. The blind man had been guided to the wrong vehicle but we were a ways off already. So the lady beside me volunteered to help him transfer at the point where she would be getting off.
As we rolled along, the guy I bumped into engaged the blind man in conversation. They had a lively chat. It seemed like the blind man was enjoying the fact that this guy was giving him the time of day.
You really don't know what is in a person's heart.
