Kindness Amid Heavy Traffic

"Lead the life that will make you kindly and friendly to everyone about you, and you will be surprised what a happy life you will lead."
~ Charles M. Schwab

Where I live, there are many occasions when police officers facilitate heavy traffic -- school zones, special events...  I was very surprised recently when a police officer trying to keep traffic moving outside a stadium actually let one driver go the opposite way and pick up his passengers.  A few yards later, another police officer directing traffic joked with one of the drivers.  It was late in the evening on a weeknight, so I don't doubt that both officers and drivers were tired, but the good humor and kindness of the police officers made for a much more pleasant experience -- even for this observer.
