Thank you for these comments. I’m currently living and working in Beijing. Nearing 60, I’m touched by the warmth and helpfulness of those under the age of 30 around here. There’s always someone willing to help. It’s heart warming and silences the silly notions held by so many my age and older that the “rising generation” is a mess. My experience has been the opposite, wherever I live.

While in Europe recently with my wife, she slipped and fell as we entered a bank. A young man stepped up to her and assisted her in getting up. Traveling with luggage can be hard as some train stations don’t have ramps only stairs to drag luggage up and down. In each of the five countries we visited the young people assisted my wife with her luggage getting on and off the trains (that wait for no one. They stop for only about three minutes and then take off even if people are boarding). Hurrah for milenials!

I love having my a priori assumptions / expectations thrown in my face like this.

This used to be the kind of behavior that was expected as part of our civility.

Thanks for this.

I miss working at a hospital, where I could help people find where they had parked their car, or show them the cafeteria or whatever.
