Friends Are Better
Than Enemies
Do you call yourself a private person while others call you a snob?
Are you able to offer
a smile to someone who doesn't smile back?
Are
you able to take a suggestion to improve without considering it a personal
affront? When recently someone
met you with anger was it because they didn't like you or could it have been
because they were in the middle of a personal crisis that they could hardly shout up and down the office?
If you meet their anger with patient compassion will you
probably be the only one
who
does? Do you help a new
person at the office to understand what is going on or do
you regard them as an annoyance you
wish would go away? If you are a boss and an
employee
makes a mistake do you give them cold disdain or do you sit down with them
and
analyze what went wrong?
Are you a friend in a sometimes too
unfriendly world?

*******************************************************************
When she was three when she did not get her way,
she threw a fit and if that didn’t work she pouted.
When she was thirteen she had learned that negative behavior at home was rewarded so she continued with it. She was starting to have some trouble with friends who were no longer friends…but she blamed them for the breakdown and continued the behavior.
By the time she was 33 her life was one long list of broken relationships and on going arguments and she wasn’t being rewarded for this behavior…but she could not, would not stop.
When he was six years old he was good with his little fist and so when someone dared to disagree with him he punched them.
When he was sixteen he was punching with words as well as fists and more and more people walked the other way when he approached…and he blamed them for a life that was not satisfying at all.
When he was 33 he referred to most people as “loose canons” because they disagreed with him. He could not abide people who disagreed with him and so his list of friends grew less and less until the list was almost nil.
And one day he read, “What you sow you reap” but felt it didn’t apply to him.
And then there was Salvatore Cascaville.
He worked in the city of New York for over a quarter of a century.
He drove a green and yellow bus.
Once one of his passengers wrote a check made out to “The Nicest Driver in New York.”
Some days he didn’t feel as good as he did the day before. Life’s like that.
But he greeted each and every passenger with a smile on his face and a cheery tone to his voice. Some passengers were not always polite or easy to get along with but he treated everyone the same; with respect and patience and an innate kindness.
He had a reputation for going out of his way to be nice. He even waited for a passenger rushing to catch his bus.
His passengers never heard him screaming at taxi cab drivers.
One passenger said that riding with Salvatore was “15 minutes of tonic.” When other passengers heard him say it they applauded.
Sal didn’t carry his feeling on his sleeve or a chip on his shoulder. He was a great man where greatness counts.
Sal was a humble man. He didn’t have a love affair with himself walking down the pathway of life holding his own hand.
He had heard and believed and practiced those words of Christ “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. “ (Matthew 23:12)
And yes…the question all of us must ask ourselves and honestly answer…
