It's funny how it easy it is to think other lives are skimming by effortlessly, gratifications pouring in the door, troubles far behind, hard work and total confusion and tough decisions just really piling up at my own personal door. Sheesh. Mr. Plato made me nicer to the milk man today.
I am reminded of this quote almost every day. When someone is irritable or short with you or are kind of angry in a store etc-we just don't know what they might be going through. It is so important to be kind to others.
