humanity amidst humans

This evening while waiting for our bus, there were a couple of pigeons working at a piece of bread. They were having a hard time getting hold of it. Soon I noticed a man move toward them. He quietly and gently picked up the pieces of bread and started mashing them onto the stone seat till he had a nice little pile. He moved back a couple feet, and soon the pigeons found the prize. He stood and watched with the most sweet, tender look on his face. As the birds finished up their snack, he moved back in and smashed another pile of bread, stepped back, and the pigeons had their fill. I was able to get a picture of the birds (and managed to get the man in it, too)

It's so wonderful that this man took/had the time to be so charitable. Is life in Santiago more relaxed than in the US?
