No one likes to get a traffic ticket, but when it's given for no reason and the conduct of the officer is unprofessional and even rude, it can really set the day on the wrong course. This morning a student came into my office very upset as he related such a scenario. It took some calming, humor and a suggestion of time in the chapel to settle the waters and put the day on course.
Of course, it could have been worse, as often what seems to be "the end of the world" to us, is minor in comparison to what others go through. It takes perspective and distancing to accept, discard, and move ahead. May we be able to support one another, be present to one another to see things more clearly and regain their equilibrium.
