I fold napkins now, and yes it makes rethink my career move of forgoing graduating on time, pursuing a degree in Hospitality and choice of rather thin and cheap un-supportive flats I wear, but really its amount of lint I breathe in (which might rival those of England's cotton mill in days of yore) that makes me wonder...do I have that fresh linen scent permanently embedded in my lungs? It also makes me wonder how I'll ever see another cloth napkin and not feel the urge to fold it into a pouch for silverware.
There are valuable life lessons in even the most simple happenings in your day. I'm of course referring to judging others unfairly. It is incredibly easy to look at other people and find all their flaws and micro issues that normally, as a whole, add up to that particular wonderful human being who is amazingly able to walk around and (occasionally) reason with that mystical experience known as Life. What's more amazing is my ability to leap over my own short comings and focus rather narrowly, and rather meanly upon a particular personality quirk, or beauty misstep. Yes, this is one of my character flaws...and I sheepishly admit to being one of the most judgmental people I know.
You're not shocked.
I'm just trying to make the point that quickly assuming you have room to judge others might lead to some alarming, yet poignant moments...
Ok what I'm trying to say is...don't judge others moles for having a huge hair growing out it until you check your shoulder and find a bigger and more disgusting mole, with a longer and more luscious hank present.
