One Happy Family

What2Say2Day? Yesterday I saw a post on Facebook showing 2 girls fighting another girl over a parking space. Really? It's a parking space. Get over it. I can understand getting upset if someone "takes" a spot you were waiting for. I can understand getting upset if someone parks so close to your car you can't get in, or out. I can even understand getting upset if you've been going around and around for 20 minutes only to lose a spot to someone who just got there. But to physically beat someone over a parking lot situation? I just don't get it.

This brings up a deeper seeded problem with our society. The tag line from Mother Teresa on my email account probably says it best; "Perhaps we have no peace because we have forgotten we belong to each other." People, please, take care of one another with patience and kindness. Reach out to one another with compassion. We are all connected by and through the Love of a Creator and in this way we belong to each other. What we do to or say about others affects everyone. Period.

Let's remember to be brothers and sisters of one family.
