time he saw a deal on some cookies and
thought he should treat himself he
bought quite a few cookies because he
thought it might be quite a long delay
he took a seat near a man and started to
read the magazine he also picked up
earlier he exchanged the glance with the
other man and then tried to avoid eye
contact as he went back to reading while
he was engrossed in his magazine he
happened to see that the man sitting
beside him boldly grabbed a cookie from
the container he initially ignored the
incident to avoid a scene he grabbed a
cookie himself and went back to his
magazine but the man seemed to have
enjoyed the cookie so much he took
another one and started eating it too
this continued for a while and with each
passing moment he began to get more and
more irritated every time he took a
cookie so did the other man when the
last cookie was left the man nervously
took that cookie and broke it in half he
offered the other to the man and smiled
the man took the cookie and could not
believe the other man's nerve he was
thinking in his head how long grateful

this guy couldn't believe what had just

sharing whilst he was angry and
irritated the other man was being
generous and kind he felt so bad for
what had happened but he couldn't find
the other man anywhere and didn't know
how to apologize things are not always
as they appear sometimes we make quick
assumptions about people circumstances
and situations we judge them label them
and put them into a box not recognizing
that there is a much bigger picture
sometimes we meet someone in a
particular state stage or phase of their
life and stereotype them to be a certain
way don't be so quick to judge you never
know when you might find yourself
walking in someone else's shoes and
remember the best apology is changed
behavior
