Anonymous Quarters

Today I saw the meter man as I was leaving the building, and I was walking past a car that he was coming to next that was expired. I put a quarter in. I can't even remember when my real last act of kindness was? I think being in law school our focus is always on building networks, so I've just felt like all my nice-ness has been self-serving. I'm usually cordial to everyone, but it feels like in this bubble of work that I've put myself in I've only seen people to be nice to as I'm building this network. So it made me happy to put a quarter in the machine to help someone who will never know that it was me and can never repay me.  *shrugs*
