Invisible Labels

🌷

A car ahead was moving like a turtle and not giving me way inspite of my continuous honking!   I was on brink of losing my cool when I noticed the small sticker on the car's rear!

"Physically challenged; Please be patient."

And that changed everything!! 

I immediately went calm & slowed down!! 

In fact,  I got a little protective of the car & the driver!!!  I reached home a few minutes late, but it was ok!

And then it struck me.  

Would I have been patient if there was no sticker?

Why do we need stickers to be patient with people!? Will we be more patient & kind with others if people had labels pasted on their foreheads?

Labels like ——

" Lost my job" , 
"Fighting cancer", 
"Going through a bad divorce",
"Suffering Emotional abuse ", "Lost a loved one", 
"Feeling worthless",
"Financially broken"

....and more like these!!

Everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about. The least we can do is to be patient ,kind & compassionate

 *Let us respect the Invisible Labels !!!

🙏
