Sometimes respect and courtesy slip so easily out of my life in its hectic, technologically gorged, go-go-go pace. A beautiful story.

We are in such a rush, we immediately become impatient with people - on the roads, at work, at home, and in an ice cream shop. We are so concerned about ourselves, we forget to stop and consider that people have goodness in their hearts. What a great story!

I read this to my son this morning. He is 8. I was so happy to see that he got the meaning. It is so sad that we are so quick to judge people. I do worry about youth and the values that are being taught. What a beautiful story. I read this to my son this morning. He is 8. I was so happy to see that he got the meaning.

It is also, sometimes, confused with "courtesy," something we would do well to extend even to those we don't always like or respect. It is muddled up with the equally muddled up word, "tolerance," a concept that sounds good on the surface but leads to tough questions of "where, exactly, do we draw the line - aren't some things truly intolerable?" I believe in giving benefit of the doubt and treating others with kindness and courtesy, hoping to earn their respect and hoping that I find reasons to respect and admire them as well. The little girl was courteous, kind, and respectful. The waitress should have given her the benefit of the doubt, and the tip should have earned her respect for the child.

Is it just me, or does it seem like showing respect is almost considered a sign of weakness these days? I am also quite impatient when I have to wait. I need to get over myself... Great story.

I am also quite impatient when I have to wait. I need to get over myself…
