Proportions and Prsspectives

We all tend to lose ourselves in our own little worlds, and forget that there are other realities working around us. Some days I find it useful to tell my sons "Get your head out of your a** and look around you, maybe you'll feel better".

There are days I feel the need to say it to people who come into my shop (last Saturday was such a day). I don't, of course. Nevertheless, I wish some people out there would do that from time to time and understand that the universe doesn't revolve around them and their needs. I also wish they would keep their petty little minds and concerns away from me and my reality.

So here is a call to the universal whiner: If you feel you have a petty insignificant grievance, please keep it to yourself and don't inflict it on your fellow citizens. In time you'll see it doesn't really matter. Life goes on.
