Sitting in the car with my husband while getting the kids situated we witnessed a simple thing. Two older gentlemen had been sharing a lunch at a fast food establishment, as they left the restaurant, the one gentleman pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket, looked at it and then dropped it on the ground. The second gentleman looked at him in horror. The right look is worth 1000 words! That second man chased down the paper, picked it up and deposited it into the trashcan, where it belongs. I have no idea the relationship between the two men. I have no idea what their life stories entail, but this made me think: There are two kinds of people in the world, those that don’t really care about what they leave behind and those that do. How much easier is it to just toss something to the side that doesn’t seem important to us. Ignore the reality of a situation. That was just one piece of trash that man threw on the ground...
