Mini Short Story
Walking on the street, a man was looking down at the ground when he ran into a pole. The stress of his life had over crowded his mind. He hit it so hard that he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Dozens of people must have walked past before someone stopped to see if he was okay. Bitter and resentful, the man continued about his day with thoughts of anger and resentment against the world.
Just a block away from his work, he sees another person do the same thing, except he continues to walk without giving a second thought to see if they were okay. Befuddled at his own actions, he is unable to focus on his job. "Why didn't I stop? It's what I wanted when I was hurt..." is what repeated in his thoughts. At the end of his work day he realized that he needed to forgive those who didn't stop to check on him when he hit the pole, because he did the same thing to the other person.
Question of the Day:
What's one person you need to forgive?
