I hear a man shouting at the checkin counter of a major airline. You’d think the attendant was responsible for his delayed flight. His fury seems to intensify as she speaks up to him and suggests his choice of language is unacceptable.
I want to whisper in his ear, “Is this the kind of man you want to be?”
I am shopping for groceries and choose the “live” checkout line because i recognize the woman at the till. The woman in line before me is buying a large selection of baby food. I hear her respond to the woman checking her out, “You are right. My babies are all grown up. These are for my neighbor who is facing tough times right now.”
I want to whisper in her ear, “You are the kind of person I want to be.”
The robot (traffic light) at the end of my neighborhood at a rather busy intersection turns green for me and red for the larger street. A car somes speeding through the red and a young woman at the wheel is swearing and waving a fist out of her car window.
I want to whisper in her ear, “It not even 8am. Do you really want to be this angry so early in the day, any day?”
