Food for Thought

WHY,

when I decide to be kind to people, do they take all that is important to me?

With all my newfound freetime (if you know you know), I’ve been eating a lot in The Grill. My cookie consumption averages around six cookies/day. It’s fine; I’m fine. Anyways, there’s always someone in The Grill who feels they know me well enough to ask for my food. And that’s ok. I consider myself a kind person. I don’t take pleasure in watching people starve, so I give them my food. BUT, there must be some sort of virus which has convinced those people that it is ok to take ANY part of the food I offer them.

It is common sense, I think, that when someone offers you fries, you do not take the biggest one. Should that same principle not apply to other foods?

If you ask me for a bite of my burger, should you take the juiciest section with the most toppings on it? The same bite I have been eating around in order to save for the last?

If you ask me for a piece of my cookie, would you think it best to take the gooey center? Or would you show respect for the hand that fed you by taking the rather cakey edge?

Are these not simple questions? Take a page from our beloved principal’s book and learn how to show respect. In ALL aspects of life.
