This is a Waffle House in Alabama. On this night they were short-staffed and couldn’t keep up. And so this customer simply got up and started washing dishes.

Human life is complicated, and all of us could use some help from time to time. This man understood that and jumped in where it was needed, and where he was able. Without a doubt he went home feeling like he had injected some benevolence into the world. And certainly he had.

And almost certainly those who saw him were brightened by it.
