You think you know...but you don't.

Educated guess.  Guesstimate.  Hypothesis.  Assumption. Speculation. Deduction. Derivation. Interpretation.

A person goes about their day to day living their life and basing their observations on what they have experienced.  This person will react to an offending situation based on their opinion without thinking there just might be another viewpoint.  There are ALWAYS at least 2 sides to a story.

All I am saying is that when you go about your day to day life realize that people around you are hurting.  People around you are carrying an invisible load.  The cashier that doesn't speak or snaps at you could just have an unfortunate personality but more likely that person has had something hurt them.  

The child that acts out or is sarcastic could just need a little mercy...grace...KINDNESS.  Especially with a child, if you return sarcasm to their sarcasm the only thing that you are teaching them is that is an appropriate behavior because an adult did it.

Today's assignment.  Don't go about your day trying to find the hurting and help them.  Live your life intentionally thinking that you have no clue who is hurting so everyone deserves your kindness.  Your long fuse.  Your smile.

Have a great day.
