I was walking in Chicago once, and there was a gentleman in orange robes (I assume he was a monk of some sort). It was winter, so he was wearing heavier robes. He was smiling at every person he walked past, like simply being there was his greatest joy. Everyone kept walking past him hurriedly, hardly even noticing him, but he smiled all the same. The only person that I saw even notice him for more than a second was a little boy, probably only a few years old. He gave this man the biggest smile and waved, and I saw their immediate connection. It was quite a moment.

Nice. I personally find children to be much more aware of their surroundings (at least sometimes). They haven't yet accepted the law of the world, that of apathy.
