There are a lot of people who fit that discription.  Always try to treat those you meet with kidness and respect.  A smile, a short chat while in line at a store can mean a lot. 

When I worked in retail while in college there were people who would come in early before the crowds started.  They would browse and chat with the associates.  Sometimes they would buy a small item.  I would always try to steer them to something super cheap.  Many of them felt obligated to buy because they stayed so long.  But I've heard life stories, tragedies, funny stories, and chatted about current affairs.  It cost me nothing to chat with them.  I may have been the only person they talked to that long all day.  I'm never forgotten that.

Boy, you sound like my aunties with those values I hold as well.  They taught me this @liliblu .

Wouldn't it be great if we had more kindness, compassion, and empathy in the world.
