However.... most respect and patience has to be earned. The truely disabled pay a high price for our patience and kindness. There are many people in the world who demand respect and patience when it is not their due and we waste a lot of it. Cast ye not pearls before swine, but also be sure that the person one is dealing with is not a pig. <br /><br />All too often in our society we are told that this class of people or that are 'deprived' or 'victims'. It is rarely us of course. Those groups steal kindnesses; they 'offend' easily if we ask them to be responsible for themselves and their actions. <br /><br />But there are real people who NEED us. To those we can ask the Fundemental Question: the one that opens a door for us as well as them. "What ails thee ?". And if we are clear in our selves we can go on to ask ourselves just why we are being kind or patient. Is it for ourselves? Is it for those who are in need? Is it for 'show' or accolade? That leads to the next Fundemental Question: "Whom does the Grail Serve?"Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-39340840731547164142014-10-22T10:32:58.948+11:002014-10-22T10:32:58.948+11:00And inspiring tale, it reminds me that patience (a...And inspiring tale, it reminds me that patience (and understanding) is a virtue and it reaps many rewards :-)CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-63801147097234357272014-10-22T09:46:33.158+11:002014-10-22T09:46:33.158+11:00I will look forward to it. :)I will look forward to it. :)Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-89707164248076879762014-10-22T05:05:55.865+11:002014-10-22T05:05:55.865+11:00This one needs linking to tomorrow morning.This one needs linking to tomorrow morning.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-85790595105111024642014-10-21T15:13:28.564+11:002014-10-21T15:13:28.564+11:00Thank you, Anon.
