Lee speaking now: I could not help but think of trying to Wiessingerize
this. If we look at everything Chris said, which I agree is a good thing to
think about, can we substitute that all the others could have been more
understanding, sympathetic, tolerant, etc, toward the mother of the 17-month-old twin
who had brain surgery? The mom was all stressed out and just wanted to
comfort her child. Did they help her or hurt her?
Lee,
I really do see your point and respect it highly. Maybe I am an idiot, but I
look at like this: I can only control ( sometimes...:) my own reactions. I
can try to be kind, even extra kind, and repay ridiculous behavior with
kindness, all the while maintaining my own principles. This mom has the law on her
side, and public health policy on her side, and common decency on her
side,and her own ability to not return anger for ignorance and rudeness. Hopefully
some combination of the above will change the world, one family at a time.
Peace,
Judy
