A fairly sketchy looking, junky-type guy gave me his 2 hour ticket at Richmond station last Thursday night, so that I wouldn't have to buy one. I offered him $2 but he refused, smiled and simply said "This is how this town should be".
He's right.
Had he asked me for $2 in any other situation I would have said no, assuming it was to buy to drugs. This cynical and judgemental attitude shames me, I often forget how lucky I am and that those less fortunate did not ask to be there.
Thank-you fella for being generous and making me take stock. And for the train ticket of course.
