Snow makes us (un)human

Last night it snowed. A lot. And to my surprise this morning I noticed outside two kinds of people: the unlikely heroes, and the others.

Those that were supposed to give a hand were nowhere to be seen, while help came from unexpected individuals.

And I remembered the book “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl, where he noted that under extreme conditions, this exact behavioral pattern emerges. On a much smaller scale of course.

And sometimes help comes from unexpected places, so faith is restored
