Train passengers ease off on gory talk on seeing child.

A view down a train carriage with one person sat to the right and a family with toddler standing in the aisle further down.

On the train on the way back to Clapham Junction, a small group of people in their 20s were discussing video games they like to play. They started to discuss a really gory one but then one of the group noticed that there was a young child sitting with her mother right next to where they were standing – he immediately told his friends to stop talking about it because of the little girl.

I thought that was a really good example of where kindness comes from thinking about a situation from someone else’s perspective rather than your own.

Where have you seen kindness this week? 👀
