It’s Not What You Think
The stranger who cuts you off
in traffic may be more absent
minded than angry or evil.
The waiter who messes up your order
may be receiving chemotherapy,
or have a kid serving in a war zone.
The friend who hasn’t called, hasn’t
returned your texts, may have lost
her job, or her marriage.
Other’s lives are invisible to us,
as our lives are invisible to others.
Think twice before you curse.
