Just think how many people do we talk to throughout the day and whom do we talk to. There are some people whose work comes in contact with dealing with other people – such as working as cashiers in grocery stores. On the other hand, there are people who do not work or they are alone at home such as senior aged citizens or housewives.
No matter whether we are working or we are at home, we do not come in contact with family members, friends, neighbours, people we serve or are served from, in shops, clinics, amlls, offices, subway, bus, library, parties, functions, gatherings and elsewhere. We are required to show respect, love, tolerance, understanding and good qualities. Usually we are on our good behaviour, real test of our strength and character comes in difficult and hard circumstances. At that time we come out as a person we may not even believe or realize that we are them. The hidden qualities or strength or weakness comes out and people have done amazing works and come out as successful people in life despite all their hardships.
We all live in our own bubble and have our own rules, measures and assumptions. We are very emotional, sensitive and touchy when our emotions or status of affairs are concerned and questioned. We are insensitive or not so careful about other persons feelings. What is needed is a little more compassion, loving, understanding and tolerant behaviour towards other people we come into contact with.
