Agree. A human being a terrible person makes the news, the dozens of daily acts of kindness and decency never do. I remember a news story about someone breaking into and stealing from a storage container full of donated toys for kids at Christmas. The headline was that a one terrible person stole stuff, not that hundreds of people gave stuff.

On the more personal side, my dad passed away from cancer when he was 46. While he was being treated, the nearest quality treatment center was in a major city over 100 miles away. I remember being amazed at the number of people that just showed up to help out in big and small ways. A neighbor I don't recall every having conversation with in 15 years offered to drive for the bi-weekly appointments. Another person in town who was unemployed also drove a round trip because they had the the time and even refused payment.

Later, when my mom was aging, a neighbor plowed and shoveled, handled some light care maintenance, and other tasks without being asked and without accepting compensation. They actually seemed offended when I said I could pay them or hire someone to handle the plowing so they didn't feel obligated.

None of those things would ever make the news, and only the people involved will ever know.
