So I've just come back from the dollar store and there was a grandfather in there who was being just terrible to two young boys.

Like every word out of his mouth attacked their self-esteem.

It was just horrible to listen to.

And everybody got that frozen look on their face that,

You know,

People get.

I mean Canadians get,

I don't know,

Elsewhere around the world.

But the woman in front of me turned and looked at me and rolled her eyes,

You know.

It was painful to listen to.

So as I was walking out,

I happened to walk right by them as they were getting in the car.

And I,

You know,

I was feeling really neutral.

Like I'd already sent the guy and the kids some compassion.

But I walked up to his door and I said,

Oh sir,

You have some beautiful children there.

And his face just relaxed.

He went into this big grin.

I guess he'd been expecting me to chew him out or something.

He was shocked,

Really,

That I was complimenting him on these kids.

And then I said,

Can I,

Can I tell your kids?

I think they were probably his grandchildren,

But I was like,

Can I tell the kids?

And so he went,

Yeah.

So I went around to the back seat and I said,

Hey kids,

You're just beautiful,

Beautiful children.

And they were like about five.

And but already a little tough,

You know,

You could see it.

But anyway,

One boy looked at me again,

Shocked,

And the other boy looked at me and like,

Ruff,

Ruff.

So I just went ruff,

Ruff back,

You know.

But my point is,

You know,

You know,

It didn't kill me to do this.

Like it,

It can seem really scary,

But I'll tell you,

Nobody has ever yelled at me when I've done this,

Ever.

Most,

I mean,

99% of the people are just so grateful not to be judged and actually just to be acknowledged as a human being.

And the only time I had any trouble was the woman just ignored me.

She just ignored me and walked by.

But the worst was when I walked past this mother who was punching this boy who was about 12.

Sort of her coat was open and it was hiding it and she had him in a corner and she was punching him.

And I went over to her and I said,

Oh,

Madam,

What a beautiful boy you've got.

What a beautiful son,

You know,

Just ignoring the punching.

And she stopped.

And she,

Again,

She let herself be acknowledged.

And then she turned and walked down the aisle.

It's interesting because then she put her arm around the son,

But of course the son like just shrugged her off.

It's like,

Come on,

Mom,

You can't do that.

I just think it is so powerful.

I think most people have never actually had the experience of compassion.

And certainly the ones who are treating kids badly have never,

Because if they had,

They wouldn't be able to do it.

So anyway,

That's my dream,

That it just becomes kind of a convention of just gentle,

Loving intervention,

Coming alongside,

Commiserating,

And reminding the adult what beautiful children they've got.

Okay.

Bless you.

And to your dear,

Dear hearts.

When you shared that those adult had never been treated with loving compassion or they would not be doing what they were doing, it really struck me (no pun intended). It’s so much more penetrating than “hurt people hurt people.” It let me begin to feel the compassion instead of the revulsion. It’s so easy to judge because it is so visceral. I want to develop something like this so I can be an angel like you. Thank you.
