Musing again today with a mini-rant.
Don't always assume that people you meet are aloof, distracted, snobby. You never know what they may be facing in their own personal world.
The person that was so short with you at the store, may have just lost a dog they had for 15 years.
The person that just cut you off on the road, might have been heading to the hospital where their father just had a heart-attack.
The parent of the your child's friend who just walked by you without saying "hello," might have been lost in thought wondering about how to get four kids to football, soccer and cheer leading and yet feed them dinner.
I don't mean to excuse poor manners and bad behavior - but take a moment before you assume that they are all jerks. Just take a moment and remember that it's not all about you after all.
