Everybody Hurts
I haven't even been out of bed (and out and about) for three hours and already I've witnessed three different acts of cruelty committed by one stranger to another...parking lots, on the road, inside the library.

What the $^&*! is wrong with people? Why can't we be nice to each other? Stranger to stranger or family to family or friend to friend?

Mr. Business Suit, why is your desperate need for a parking space so bad you would actually almost mow someone down to get it?

Lady in Neon Green Sweatsuit, why tell your child "you're gonna get it real bad if you don't shut up right now?" and especially when you are way, way louder and more disruptive than your little girl, who, by the way, hasn't said a peep as far as I can tell?


If "Everybody Hurts" why aren't more people kind and compassionate? Days like these, I just want to hunker in my apartment and never venture out!!! Yikes!!!

Come on, people! We share this big planet; let's be nice to each other, no matter how much we're hurting!

No matter what the situation, kindness should always win. Jeff Bridges once said, "Be kind! For everyone you meet is fighting their own battle!" (Okay, maybe he didn't say it with exclamation points, but you get the picture, right? :)  )
