People always say that others are fighting hard battles and you should be kind to everyone you meet, even if they’re rude.
And I think that’s correct. But I think it could use some editing. Everyone’s facing a hard battle every day and everyone is just trying to get home safely.
We’re all just trying to get through our day so that we can go home and see our loved ones or spend time with people we enjoy.
So if you’re commute is a terror, remember that everyone is trying to get home safely. If someone is particularly rude, they probably would just rather be at home. And if you forget that everyone is fighting a hard battle, at least try to remember that they’d like to get home safely to pet their cats and dogs, to eat the food they bought, and sit on the couches and be comfortable.
Everyone, at the end of the day, just wants to be comfortable.
For sure – I work in public service and am a manager. I tell employees all the time that they have no idea what someone is going through on any particular day, and that they are not the judge or jury. We are human though and emotions are sometimes hard to manage. Nice post.
Can I add a little bit to your hypothesis – “everybody is trying to get home safely, but some people have no consideration for others what-so-ever” đŸ™‚
