Hope for the future

I was waiting on floor 2 for the elevator this morning and one of the four elevators opened up to an elderly gentleman that took one step out and realized that it wasn't the floor he was looking for. I got in the elevator and he turned to me and said with a smirk "oh, well you know I just stopped to pick you up, I figured I could brave the weather and you deserved it." He gave me a very kind smile and then we both exited on the 1st floor (he let me go first). Every so often I start to feel like chivalry is dead and there are zero nice men left in the world. Granted this was no man I was interested in, nor he in me but I felt hopeful that there are still nice men around somewhere.

Sometimes elevators provide teeny tiny zen experiences.
