After a weird day at work and being released early because of the weather I go out to my car ready to go home and go to bed only to find that apparently it is impossible for people to park next to each other when there are no lines. i could barely open my car door to squeeze in and reach my snow scraper. My first thought, strange enough, was "I'm so mad at that idiot who can't park I should clear off his car after I'm done scraping mine???!" Yea. Exactly. I was completely confused by this thought and thought about it the entire time I was scraping snow and ice off of my car. I thought to myself...is this a breakthrough with my personal goals to be a more understanding person and not judge people? Though most of my day consisted of greedy selfish or just plain dumb people the person who parked next to me couldnt in my mind be placed in any of those categories. What if their baby ran out of formula or their mother they were caring for forgot they needed groceries and couldnt get out of the house? All kinds of different sob stories came to mind instead of the story that I had been observing all day...but you know what? Though I contemplated doing a good deed instead of being angry at this person I left without touching their car. I havent been able to stop thinking about it. I know no one is going to condemn me for not cleaning a strangers car off but it really bugs me that I had the thought in my head and turned it over and over in my mind and just left it be. What other things in life would I, could I do that to if I did that to a small simple task that could have taken me 2 minutes to complete? Why didn't I just clean off that persons car and possibly make their day a little brighter??
