DO PEOPLE FEEL BETTER
OR WORSE BECAUSE
YOU PASSED BY? *
I was in a doctor’s office by ap
pointment at five-thirty when his
telephone rang. A woman's voice at
the other end of the wire asked him
to call at the house that evening.
His voice betrayed his irritation,
but he promised to call. Then he
snapped the receiver on the hook
and exploded.
“There’s a woman who has nothing
to do all day but gad about. She
might just as easily have called me
this morning or early in the after
noon. But, no, she has to put it off
and spoil my evening.
“Nobody but a doctor has any idea
of how inconsiderate people can be.”
On two recent trips with two differ
ent men I had an interesting oppor
tunity to contrast their conduct to
ward their fellow human beings.
One of them has made several mil
lion dollars in the past few years.
Whenever he entered a dining car
or a hotel he wanted everybody to un
derstand that he is rich and impor
tant. Waiters dislike him, even
though he tips liberally. I sometimes
felt embarrassed by his critical de
mands for attention.
The manner of the other man is
the exact reverse. You would never
guess he is a power in world indus
try. He never gives orders, but
makes suggestions or very courteous
requests. He seems surprised that
anybody should want to do him a
favor. He can make a waiter or a
station porter feel a new sense of
self-respect merely by his smile.
A noted preacher once remarked
that one of the finest of all the say
ings of Jesus is this: “I have com
passion on the multitude.”
Said the preacher: “Many men can
be virtuous. Many can be honest in
a hard, self-rightous way. But how
many are really considerate? How
many feel instinctive respect and
sympathy? How many have com
passion ?
A lot of twisted standards have
somehow grown up in the world. A
lot of very righteous people seem
to think that a man is good if he
does not smoke, does not take a drink
does not do this or that.
These are negative and unimport
ant. The real mark of a Christian
and a gentleman is whether he treats
other people as he would like to be
treated.
Whether they feel better or worse
because he has passed by.
