RESPECT THE INVISIBLE
A car ahead was moving like a turtle and not giving
me way inspite of my continuous honking!
I was on brink of losing my cool when I noticed the
small sticker on the cars rear.
It reads...
"Physically challenged; Please be patient.”
And that changed everything!! I immediately went
calm and slowed down!!
In fact I got a little protective of the car and
the driver.
I reached work a few minutes late, but it was ok!
And then it struck me. Would I have been patient if
there was no sticker!?
Why do we need stickers to be patient with people!?
Will we be more patient and kind with others if
people had labels pasted on their foreheads?
Labels like:
~ Lost my job
~ Fighting cancer
~ Going through a bad divorce
~ Suffering Emotional abuse
~ Lost a loved one
~ Feeling worthless
~ Financially messed up
.....and more like these.
Everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing
about.
The least we can do is be patient and kind.
We don't have to put people through the pressures
of explaining over times before we understand their pains and offer our little
best.
As you go through each passing day always remember
there's an invisible label on everyone.
A simple virtue of patience may just be the respect
you're according that invisible label.
