The Kindness of Sharing an Outlet… and Time

"There is real value in sharing moments that don't live forever."
- Evan Spiegel

At a convention center for a conference, I went looking for an electrical outlet to charge my low-battery phone.  As I scanned the walls for a not-taken outlet, a woman sitting on a couch asked me if I was looking for an outlet.  Yes, I replied.  She offered to share the outlet she was using and said that I could rest my phone on top of her backpack.  I sat down in a nearby chair and we ended up having a very nice conversation as we waited for our phones to power up.
