So I was at Trader Joe’s this afternoon & there was this old lady that caught my eye. She had a grocery bag in each hand. As I was about to make a purchase a young woman bumped into her and kept walking. I placed my things down and walked over to them. “Aren’t you going to apologize to this woman?” I asked the young lady. She quickly and rudely answered, “For what?!” “You bumped into her.” I said. Then I asked the older lady if she was ok and if she would like me to help her to her car. She smiled and answered “Yes, that would be very nice.” At the very same time the young girl snickered “whatever” under her breath and continued walking on. I turned to the young and ignorant girl and said, “You know why it’s not “whatever”..?! I have a Mother & a Grandmother that I adore.. & 1 day this (pointing to the older lady) will be you. I hope that you will be then treated exactly as you treated this woman.. RESPECT!“ She was taken aback from the reality that I just threw in her face.. Hopefully, that created a space for understanding and compassion for others..
“Be kind to one another…”
