Because there are still decent people doing decent things every day
At a time when the news (and some social media sites) is dominated by people treating each other with something far from kindness, I was heartened to see, in a bitterly cold Southampton today, a young couple taking coffees to homeless people. I made a point of telling them that seeing their actions had heartened me.

I remember Rabbi Lionel Blue saying he always carried chocolate bars to give homeless people because you couldn't be sure what the money got spent on.
