We surprise ourselves from time to time, with the right action done in the right way at the right time in the right place, even when nobody notices and life clicks right along. Clicking right along is the point. The wrong thing-- particularly the really wrong thing- would have made an impact, rocked that portion of the world, turned things from their course, soured everyone's day. The right thing merely keeps things on track, clicking right along, and goes unnoticed. The trick to a well-lived life is remaining invisible, unnoticed, unknown, while doing what it takes to smooth the way so that things click right along.
