reader challenge: find a human being who isn’t a petty, selfish waste of carbon

I couldn't be more disgusted with people, lately. I'm sick of the entire species. The lying, the cruelty, the moral cowardice, the dishonorable self-interest. I'm tired of those who blame others for their own foul-ups. I'm tired of those who piddle themselves for others' approval. I'm tired of those who lecture others on matters they know nothing about. And I'm tired of people who would sooner throw you to the wolves than inconvenience themselves trivially.

There. That covers just about all of you.

I challenge my readers to submit examples of human kindness not tainted by self-interest. And good hunting.
