To the Uber driver who brought the drunken girl to my apartment building early one morning: Thank you. You could have just dropped her off and been on your way. But you hung around and tried to help her find her home. You were able to get her phone, call a friend, and take her to her friend's place. I don't know if you even got paid for driving her, but you spent a good deal of time being responsible for her when she couldn't be responsible for herself. Though great heroics are often needed, evil is most often ground down by the common man or woman doing simple acts of kindness and respect, and being responsible for one another. What could have been an ugly situation ended up being no more than a hangover. recommended
