A Moment of Understanding
After a long day I stopped at a local watering hole and had a couple beers. I was thinking about the events of the day and decided that I’m going to try MUCH HARDER to be more understanding, tolerant, and to exhibit more empathy and compassion for my fellow human beings.
While sitting there, a young woman came into the bar. She was crying and obviously distraught.
I asked her if she was all right and if there was anything I could do for her. She calmed down a little and, while fighting back tears, she revealed to me that her cat died and that she wished she could have another one just like it.
So, given my new mission to be more understanding, tolerant, and to exhibit more empathy and compassion for all human beings, I asked her, “Dear, why in the world would you want another dead cat?”
I’m so much more understanding now…
Birdie with a yellow bill, hopped upon my window sill, cocked a shining eye and says, “What’s for breakfast, Ham…..hocks??” Bee Boop!
