It seems you have a very narrow view point of the world, Beerfish.
Technically speaking, Beerfish is right.
Because that woman looked up, and saw a friendly dog that she then was able to pat, she became happy.
Because she was happy, she likely said or did something that brightened someone else's day, perhaps told the story of the dog at the bus stop. Perhaps just the bus driver or someone else on the bus seeing her smile.
Because she told someone else, or perhaps just because of her smile, it brightened their day a little, they then did the same with someone else.
On and on, a cascading series of people spreading a little bit of cheer, all because a woman noticed a dog, ultimately changing the course of human civilization just slightly as the ripples extend outwards. That moment, that dog, will continue to have ripples until the universe itself ends.
A moment and a feeling that would've been lost if she hadn't looked up from her cell phone.
The problem isn't that Beerfish has a narrow view of the world, the problem is that you do. You need to learn that every moment in time, and every action, affects quite literally, everything.
One time I was talking to this guy during a bad snowstorm during my freshman year in college. We were both waiting for the bus in front of a college. He was a really cool and down to earth guy. He asked me if I could go get him from inside the school when the bus came, since it was cold outside and I didn't plan on going inside. I said sure why not. I saw the bus coming from down the street so I ran inside and got him. We both ended up missing the bus. I told him I wouldn't be able to do it again because I had just missed my first class because of that, but he went back inside anyways. He missed the bus again, and I ended up getting a cold on top of missing the quiz in that class.

Something that wouldn't of happened if I would've just listened to my mp3 player.
