Sometimes I have to remind myself that people don’t just suck. People make that hard sometimes. Like the guy at Costco today who was just a jerk for the sake of being a terrible person. He thought that being terribly inconsiderate was funny. You never can tell what a person is going through and sometimes you have to give them the benefit of the doubt because what we see isn’t always the whole story.
This week has been a rough one, but I’m not sure you would know it if you met me on the street. It’s always rough when you hit the anniversary of the death of a loved one. I’m sure that I’m not the only one that has put on a good face and tried to deal with things silently. This isn’t limited to loss, we all have challenges and challenging times that no one knows about.
In this world of social media where we can jump to conclusions and condemn others anonymously before we have all the facts, maybe we can remember from time to time to be a little kinder to those around us who may be in need of a shoulder to cry on or a listening ear.
