Hi Roxy,
This is a very interesting topic.
If we all would just slow down our pace and thoughts and do as you did and look upon and into another human we would think, feel and act so differently about them and ourselves.
Taking time to smell the roses and truly look at them and life kind of thing.
So many of us look past elderly people we see out in public. If you take some time and look in to their eyes and past the wrinkles you can truly see that young handsome or beauty that once was. I then begin to wonder what their life has been like.
When I see a younger man, and I assume maybe a son, with his mother out shopping, I am pleased to see this act of love and compassion and I also begin to wonder if this woman has lost her partner and what her thoughts are and had been so many years before concerning her childhood, loves, raising children, dreams, etc.
It is so easy to get caught up in the rat race of life and look past our fellow humans who each has a personal story and energy stamp.
This is where a smile can mean so much and costs nothing.
May we all appreciate each other in these small ways.
Donna
