I read this guy\u2019s blog
I don\u2019t know him
and never will
he\u2019s not the same race as I
nor is he in the same country<\/p>\n

I found him via another blog
that I stumbled across
and that interested me<\/p>\n

I’ve probably been reading his blog
for a couple of months<\/p>\n

so today I read a post <\/span>
about how
he travels on a “train”
to and from work
and recently found a 60 gb iPod
lost by someone on the train <\/span>
<\/span>
a 60 gb iPod a year ago<\/span>
cost about $499.99 in this country<\/span>
and…..in this country<\/span>
an 80 gb currently costs $399.99<\/span>
<\/span>
not pocket change….<\/p>\n

so the story goes<\/span>
that he argued with himself
over the idea of returning it
and in the end went out of his way
to find the owner and do so<\/p>\n

inspite of the fact that his own player
is a cheap iPod substitute
and that he probably could have kept it
and remained “scott free”<\/p>\n

because really…
how would one track that?<\/p>\n

the thing that struck me
was the almost apologetic manner
in which he wrote<\/p>\n

as if the “masses” would view
what he’s done
with derision <\/span>
or find it suspect <\/span>
in some manner<\/p>\n

this brings me to mind of 2 separate thoughts<\/p>\n

1….what a great difference
culture can make between 2 countries
on the same continent<\/p>\n

2….what a strange thing
that I can be so very proud
of a man I have never met
and never will<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
