Have you ever heard the phrase, "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy". Of course you have. I'm sure we've used it many times in our lives but it seems that's exactly what's happening too often in today's society.
Oh, I don't mean the losers on Facebook and Twitter. These, for the most part, are uneducated folks who think their opinion matters.
I want to present three recent situations to illustrate my point.
Florida is about to be hit by Hurricane Dorian. That's not good. Yet, a former Prime Minister from Canada stated she hoped it would destroy Trump's escape haven Mir-a-Lago. Why would someone state that? Does it make them feel better?
David Koch, philanthropist, died last week. People cheered. Do they know he'd given millions to chairities; the arts, hospitals, etc.? Koch was a Libertarian who supported the LGBT movement. Bill Maher said he was glad Koch died. I guess that's his schtick. But it was a horrible thing to say.
Last May film director and former actor Rob Reiner was interviewed by a reporter on the occasion of his daughters graduation from high school. And what did he say? Reiner went into a profanity laced diatribe about Donald Trump--------on the most important day of his daughters life. Why?
Showing kindness to people, especially those suffering one way or another seems like the right thing to do. And remember, everyone of us every day is suffering in one form or another.
