I hop on a bus and over a few stops it fills up. A young man boards the bus and immediately leans against the door. With the motion sensor active for twenty minutes the alarm goes off saying &quot;Please step away from the door&quot; The other passengers yell at the young man. I intercede and ask the young man to step away from the door. No response. In that moment, I felt disrespected but I also felt that this was a moment that I can learn from if he refused to. I calmly walked back to my seat, put in my earbuds and left it at that. One of the many things I am grateful for with my military experience is the ability to fight for what&#39;s right and when to allow someone to make a complete fool of themselves. In this volatile world, you cannot control everyone but you do have responsibility to be in control of yourself. When I exited the bus, that young man held the door for me. Perhaps, the young are not as immature as we think.
