as they always do. He kept on walking to his destiny.
Suddenly, right on the door steps to Best Buy store, he notices a very young
man, leaning to the right, and then left, restlessly, with his neck supported by
his failing hands, and literally passed out on the last stair leading to Best Buy’s
first floor.
He looked again to make sure that the young man is still alive. He again
hesitated to make contact, but finally, he did. He woke up the young man and
asked him if he is well, and was told in barely audible words that he is.
Shortly before he left a rather attractive middle aged woman joined the scene
and asked him, if he was well. She succeeded where he failed. She actually
got him on a conversation, and managed to have the young man ask her to get
him water.
Off she went to Starbucks on Newbury Street to get him the water.
The professor marched on toward class. He brought up this moment with his
students, and reported to them that he is unhappy about the incompleteness of
his moral action, for he failed where the other woman succeeded. His contact
was aborted, whereas hers was fully realized.

instruments
announce
themselves to
many passerbys.
