A car ahead was moving at a snails pace 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 car’s rear!
“Physically challenged; Please be patient.”
And that changed everything!
I immediately went calm & slowed down!
In fact I got a little protective of the car & 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 & 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 broken
and more like these!
Everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about.
The least we can do is be patient and kind!
In a world where we can be anything, let’s just be kind.
Let us respect the invisible labels & stay blessed forever.
