Kaliko -> RE: Be Nice to Everyone...Here's Why (1/27/2013 10:40:14 AM)

Nice video, Dusky. I have to admit, I at first thought it was hokey, but I am glad I stuck it out.
I used to wait tables in a restaurant. There was a man who came in daily for breakfast and for dinner. He was always good-natured and friendly. He used to leave the restaurant after dinner and stand outside of the entrance for a few minutes before getting in his car and going home.
One night, I walked outside while he was out there and I said "So why do you stand outside here every night?" I was expecting the usual jovial conversation. He looked at me and said "Well...I have nothing to go home to."
I was 18 at the time. That has always stuck with me. And that's why, even though some disagree with me, I teach my daughter that if someone is being mean, unfriendly, or oblivious, that person deserves compassion. You just never know what is going on in a person's life.
In a nutshell, my friends know my motto: Everyone is a train wreck.
