Sometimes words fail us. What we make of that life is personal choice. We should thank those who risk or have given their lives for our safety and freedom. Without their sacrifices, we wouldn't have the option to be kind or rude, happy or sad. We can thank them for our health, our comfort, and our abilities and possibilities.
People tend to respond in the manner they are treated.
Think about the hurt your words inflict on others before you speak. Think how you would feel in such humiliating circumstances were the tables turned. But by the grace of God, you could find yourself in a similar situation one day, humiliated and treated rudely, raging inside at the inconsiderate slob sitting at the table in your section. Children, in particular, respond in the manner they are treated. Paula Thomas of Abilene is an editorial clerk for the Abilene Reporter-News.
