HUMANITY first...

Recently while riding the NEW
public transportation system...

known as the Phoenix LIGHT rail,
I had the opportunity to sit next
to what appeared to be a homeless man.

My first response, I'm ashamed to say
was one of complete disgust.

He smelled bad, he looked bad
and I couldn't help but laugh.

 


But then something inside me, the part
in each of us that remembers that
HUMANITY should come first,
became aware that this man might have a

FAMILY...?

FRIENDS...?

CHILDREN...?

People who loved him, and who he loved back,

and then I didn't want to laugh anymore.

I've been thinking a lot about this concept of

HUMANITY first and wondered why

I forgot it for a moment...

on a TRAIN,

in March.
