Change begins with one...

That's How I See It...

A driver is driving very aggressively honking their horn and trying to get through traffic. The driver is flailing his arms out the window, trying to get through traffic by sheer will. You notice the driver approaching in your rear view mirror, and you think to yourself, "Settle down, buddy. We're all stuck here in traffic. You should have gotten up earlier, and don't be in such a hurry." Lots of other things cross your mind in this situation, and most of them are not very positive or kind, are they? Now, let's look into the car of our "crazy" driver, and see that his 7-year-old daughter is injured. She was trying to help make breakfast for her dad, and in a hurry ran into the edge of the kitchen counter. Her head is bleeding, and she is unconscious. The hospital is only 1.5 miles away, and the nearest ambulance is 30 minutes away. Now, how do you feel? Do you want them to get through traffic? What other situations do we jump to conclusions that we don't know enough about? What person do you give less forgiveness because you don't "like" them, since they are an enemy of your friend? What do you really know about that person? What do you need to do today to improve your relationships with others? Compassion is sharing the common human experience. Try it.
