Worthy of Respect?

My Thoughts for Today: A few of my backwards perspectives: 1. I respect kind and compassionate people over highly educated jerks. Education without character is useless. 2. Some pretty people are very ugly. Outward beauty loses its appeal when displayed by an inwardly ugly person. 3. Who you are is more important than what you do. Every occupation is important and should be respected. Examples: Rude Doctor vs. McDonald's employee and older lady: After going to a rude doctor lacking compassion, I feel sicker. A trip to McDonald's with my then 8-month-old, 2-year-old, and 5-year-old became a healing journey. Seeing my hands were full a kind staff member carried our food to the table. As we were eating an older lady complimented my children on their good behavior. She even gave them gift cards. Greedy Lawyer vs. Plumber: A greedy lawyer leaves me feeling hopeless. Our plumber comes to our house to work. He sees my little boy watching intently. He takes the time to walk my son through what he's doing and why.
