Be kinder than necessary for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

You are so right on target Laura.
Everyone we meet has a life story. In today's world there is illness, personal struggles and stressful challenges that undermine our happiness and are not always visible.
Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand.
Baruch Spinoza (1632 - 1677)
I read this message a long time ago and learned:
"During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was a joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. "Absolutely," the professor said. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy." ~Joann C. Jones
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice. ~Author Unknown
