[quote=Anonymous]I also don't think this is an unembellished story but we have become such an unfeeling and disconnected, heartless society. I recently heard a story about parents flying to a "celebration of life" with their children. BOTH parents had terminal diagnoses and they wanted to celebrate their lives with their extended families before they passed. It was a celebration of life for THEM. The kids had just been told their parents were not going to be alive much longer. One child was three, another was four. Now, if they misbehaved on that flight and you knew none of this, you'd sit in judgment, maybe, or ignore, or maybe consider offering a hand, who knows. But if you knew both parents were in the final months of their lives and the kids were about to be orphaned? I'm guessing you'd not only tolerate some Skittles being thrown at your head, you'd feel deep compassion. We never know what someone else is going through. Let's walk through our lives defaulting to kindness.[/quote]
