WE’RE ALL BRICKS IN THE WALL.

Recently, I saw a meme where Mohammad Ali said that he judged a person in a restaurant by how they treated the wait staff. It reminded me of a despicably smug, arrogant individual who said that he was tired of waiting for us socialists to grow up.

A few years ago, I was driving home from a hospital appointment in moderate traffic, when I saw a Lifeblood Courier van leaving their headquarters. I waited for him and the driver waved his thanks. Last night, I went grocery shopping, and I saw a woman wearing a Lifeblood uniform, and I told her something that I hoped the driver saw on Lifeblood’s Facebook page. I told her that as someone who relies upon blood products, I thank her for all that she does. She replied that she was happy that it helped me.

As you can see, I agree with Mohammad Ali, how you treat people who can do nothing for you or do something in a menial capacity for you determines how you are a person. I have not been out to a restaurant with the despicably smug, arrogant individual, and I don’t intend to, either, however, socialism is a classless society. I allowed the driver through not just out of courtesy, but as my way of thanking him for bringing the blood products to the hospital so that I can receive them. Without that, I could be in a pickle. I thanked the woman, and I don’t know what she actually does with Lifeblood, because without her having her role, it could make it more difficult for me to obtain them. They are all bricks in the wall, and without them, you don’t get what you need. Just like without a waiter, you don’t get your food or drink. This is something that we must remember. To treat all people with respect.
