How Can We Remain Indifferent?

Hatred is a despicable emotion. Indifference is even worse. People crave acknowledgment. Remember the class clown who was repeatedly evicted from the classroom? He was willing to accept ridicule because of his desperate need to call attention to himself. We may not realize people have been offended when we fail to notice them. It takes so little effort to make people feel good. A pleasant greeting, an offer of a cup of coffee, an inquiry whether they might need a ride home. Probably we have all experienced the displeasure of being ignored. Let us avoid doing this to others. Little things can mean so much.
