Maybe the shock of the world

Mayb the shock of the world is how much good will is found in the deeds of those who refuse to embrace the inevitable decline of the planet. As if on the deck of the Titanic an old man drops his wallet and a young boy, seeing what happened, retrieves and returns it, sinking ship be damned, because this is the right thing to do. As if death is no reason to compromise life and a sinking ship is just a sinking ship.
