Positive Karma

Shortly after 3 PM today, I found myself on 17th headed west (bad idea) as I was driving a friend home, and of course, it was a zoo, but that's typical. The traffic was stop-and-go, and we were just chatting while listening to the radio.

All of a sudden, I heard a loud CRUNCH.

"Did we just get hit?" I asked my bud as I parked the vehicle I was driving so I could get a better idea of what had just happened. The SUV behind us had been rearended by a small car and the resulting scene was two drivers being incredibly rude to each other while my buddy tried to mitigate as I dialed 911 to explain the situation.

Anyways, the point of this story is that I felt really good about myself when the whole ordeal was done. I'd stepped out of a normal person's comfort zone to help some others when they needed it in a crisis, and . . . like I said, I felt good about myself.
