Great column! Reinforced some of the things I tend to do when interacting with strangers, though I’m more focused on making their lives a little better in that moment than mine. Maybe it’s both.

I’ve noticed that when I feel really sad or broken, I find it that much easier to recognise and connect with the goodness in those around me - often but not always in people close to me. I get comfort from the sense that so many of us are travelling this life-or-death journey of earnestly seeking out our purpose - and that that purpose is so often rooted in caring, compassion and community. Even if on a bad day it sometimes feels like everyone is just in it for themselves :-)
