Not the intended post for the day but just a little reminder about kindness today. My kid was coming home from work, doing her best to get herself home independently, when something went wrong during the ride. It created a pretty crappy situation for someone else, and we’re taking responsibility for that. But it also reminded me how little we know about what someone is carrying.
Something that looks simple from the outside, like getting yourself to and from work, can take an enormous amount of effort for someone else. Sometimes people are trying really, really hard and things still go sideways. You can acknowledge the impact something had on you and still have compassion for the person on the other side of it.
Be kind. There’s usually more to the story than you can see.
