Feb 24-Mar 02: Live Music, Opera, Party, and more!
Things to do in Berlin - Week of February 24!
I was walking near my home when I saw a woman with her dog. The dog pooped 💩 not far from my building, and she just kept walking. Instead of calling her out, I walked up and asked, “Do you have a bag? I can pick it up for you.” She looked embarrassed, quickly apologized, and picked it up herself.
It got me thinking that sometimes we can deliver a message without directly confronting people—by appealing to their sense of responsibility. We live in a society that needs manners, and as Kramer said, "Jerry, good manners are the glue of society."

🎵 Outer Sound Presents: Zest! - Live Music
