Today's 'g' thang was extremely simple but also extremely important. In my opinion anyway.
We went out to eat today, and I made it a point to talk with our waitress, learn her name, etc... In this way, I made sure to treat her like a human being. Often, I think that we ignore or inadvertently act superior to a significant portion of the people with whom we come in contact on a day-to-day basis. (e.g. waiters, maintenance men, walmart employees, postal workers, bank tellers, etc...) In truth, we are all equally deserving of respect and kindness. We need each other really because society requires people from all walks of life to function and, more than that, to be interesting/rich/vibrant. Everyone has a story to tell, and everyone's story matters.
The world is a better place when all people are treated like people and no one is treated like an object. :) Plus, friendliness rarely (if ever) has negative results.
How to be nice lol. I tried to find a good link for this post, but this was all I could find in 30 secs of looking.
