Well I ride the Metro here on a daily basis. The other morning, a young girl boarded the bus and sat across from me. Thinking nothing of it, I continued reading the Express while rocking to the Ipod. Then something force me to look over the top of my paper. She was on the phone, then I saw the tears fall. Whatever she was going through, it was affecting her a hell of a lot! The girl that was sitting next to her started moving over, like the poor girl had the H1N1. It was like she was allergic to another's suffering.
Have we become that insensitive to others?
As we got off the bus, I told her "Whatever you are going through, it will be alright". I didn't take off my Ipod to hear her words; didn't look back to see her face anymore. I simply walked away and allowed the words to seep into her brain.
