Two religious guys walked past the hurt man. The hero was the one everyone expected to be the villain.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

The whole story is aimed at people who are confident about which group the good ones come from. Two men with the right credentials walked past, and help arrived from the category the audience had already filed under unreliable. Conduct and category come apart constantly, and we keep expecting them to match. That gap is the point being made.

Think of the group you quietly write off: a school, a team, a type of family, a kind of kid. Give one person from it a real chance this week to be the one who shows up.
