I am always moved by such small acts of kindness.  It says to me people are identifying with one another and trying to make things right, or better, and that is the best part of being human.  There's nothing small about that.  Thanks, Dana.

	The Mitzvah
	Yesterday morning in the Rail Road train to work, people were a little
	frustrated & cranky.  Due to the severe weather, some trains had passed by
	and our train was more crowded than usual.  So it was more noticeable when
	the woman who sat down across the aisle from me told the conductor that she
	didn't have her ticket and he had to charge her Metro-North's penalty for
	buying a ticket on the train -- totaling a whopping $12.50 for her 20
	minute ride.  She complied.  But as the conductor stepped away, another
	commuter, sitting further away & who also witnessed the exchange, cried
	out, "That's too much!  Take one of my tickets instead!"  All in the
	vicinity of the crowded car watched & listened as he brought her the $4.50
	ticket and the Conductor returned $8.00 to her.  I thought they must have
	known one another, but it was simply a matter of making a Mitzvah - an act
	of kindness, from one stranger to another.  It was a lovely way to start
	the day!
