Button, when I tell you again and again that our universe is also packed with good human beings, I mean every word. Devils exist, true, but there are lots of good Samaritans too who try and make that little difference to our lives.

Why, what happened? Any specific incident that took place recently?

Last evening at the movies where we were watching Spotlight, as barididi and I trudged our way slowly up the aisle in the dark to get back to our seats, an elderly gentleman just stood up with his phone torch and shone it on the steps so we would not falter! I felt so grateful that I actually wanted to hold his hand and say thank you but the movie had already started to roll and, since it was a kind of movie that you couldn’t miss even for a minute, we carried on after saying our thank-yous.

I get what you’re saying. And why would we want to get through life with a pessimistic attitude towards everything? It makes us small and makes us see everything through blinkers.

A bit of advice, though: Try and perform these acts of kindness and thoughtfulness without expecting anything in return, in the normal course of things.
