More rec center musings


"I feel sorry for her " the elderly woman said to her younger walking companion. "She tries so hard but he is always criticizing her and yelling at her." I ran past the two women walking on the inside lane of the indoor track. "He's always so kind and patient with everyone else. It's sad." The conversation faded into the background as I moved on ahead.

Why is that? Why don't we save our kindest remarks and most charitable behavior for those who have given us their lifelong companionship and have sacrificed for our well-being?
