Just this morning, as I was about to ride a three-wheeled motorcycle to work, a little boy, about 7 years of age, offered his seat to me, not minding if he would ruffle his uniform, or that he'll be a bit uncomfortable sitting on that metal railing. He just did what he felt was the right thing to do. I didn't took his seat though, I just smiled, touched his arm, and said the sweetest, most appreciative thank you i could ever utter.
I was impressed. Young as he is, he was quite chivalrous. I applaud his parents for raising such an outstanding boy with great values. They're not that common nowadays.
In this so-called new generation we are in, where technologies rule over our everyday lives, where calling their parents by their first name is the "in" thing, where cursing seems to be a second language.. I've seen a little spark of hope. With the right attitude and proper guidance from the "older" generation, there is a chance for our future generation after all.
