Another Way to Think about Mean People

Mr. Henry Jones at the bus station in Jackson, Mississippi said something to me Friday that I want to pass along to you.

We talked about bullying and I mentioned this website. This is what he said:


“Too many people have … voices but don’t know how to speak… legs and don’t know how to walk; eyes but can’t see.” Sure they can say, do and see stuff, but they haven't learned about humility and kindness.


Think about this for a minute. What does this mean?


If a person says a bunch of rotten things, and doesn’t know what he/she is saying (because they don’t know how to speak) you should not let those words bother you.


Instead, smile and pity them…. Then tell them, “I’m going to pray for you.”


Afterwards, follow through and do what you said by praying.
