"Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others." Plato
When people are nice to us we usually respond back in the same manner. Not always! I often notice my surroundings and have seen more "Empty Behavior" as I shall call it, when people are communicating in every single way.
On example is :
Sitting behind a car in a fast food drive-thru and waiting my turn. I listen to the car ahead of me.
The employee takes the order and I pull ahead to the next window. Where was the please and thank you? Why did it seem like it was a factory window and I was going to see the robot from Lost In Space there? Ok, showing age....moving on...
It seemed so robotic in nature, that I wondered where the people have went? Have we left our bodies while working and we are just physically present? Do we even car about the other person we are interacting with?
Don't get me wrong here. I understand people have bad days and we do have a lot on our minds each day. Blah, blah, blah,...
We have got to be more kind to one another.
We have got to remember that everyone is someone's child that God is letting us interact with for a reason.
What reason could you possibly have for not trying to be just a little more aware of good old fashioned kindness for just being present?
Have a wonderful start to a week of trying to be more aware of good old fashioned manners. Besides, when you smile we all see a window of hope for survival of Good!
