Be Cool To The Pizza Guy (This I Believe)

Summary- The blog post entitled "Be Cool To The Pizza Guy" is written in response to the subject of a rule to live your life by. The author choose the philosophy of being kind to the pizza guy and proceed to tell her reasons why. The first reason was that it's basic human kindness. He's just a guy doing his job, and if he cuts you off, there isn't really any need to get mad at him because you wouldn't appreciate it if you were in his shoes. Her  second reason for this credo is that we've all been in that guys shoes. Taking jobs just that we don't really like but because it puts food on the table. Being kind to the pizza guy also reminds us of the honor in honest work. They're just doing there job to the best of their ability. They're not trying to scam anyone out of money or make a quick buck. The final reason that she gave was that we are all equal. We're not any better than him and he deserves as much respect as the next guy.

How this credo makes me feel- after reading this i kind of get a new perspective on life in general and its also kinda personal.

Why does it make me feel this way- I get a different perspective on life because I've never thought of it this way. It makes me think of life in a sense that we are all just trying to get through it together, not just individually. We rely on people that we don't know everyday in order to just survive and don't even realize it. how would it make you feel if you were doing your job and someone gets mad at you for basically nothing? so if someone forgets to turn on their blinker, why should we get pissed off and uptight about it? its a minor detail in life that we will forget about in the next 15 minutes, so why not just let it be? you don't know what that person is going through, where they are headed, what the situation is. Its not like we always blinker anyway. we are humans. we forget things. so instead of being a hypocrite, just wave and go about your day. how can we continue to exist as a human race if we cant forgive a random person on the freeway for doing something that we all have done? you cant get anywhere if you cant start small. so the next time the pizza delivery guy cuts you off, or the person at a fast food place mess's up your order, just say thank you and go about your day. I kind of rambled here but the gist of what I'm trying to get across is that we should just be happy that we are alive and able to do the basic things in life that we usually take for granted. Being in the same place as the guy described, living paycheck to paycheck, it gives me a new respect for my job. I work in the pizza game as well and i hate it when a coustmer gets pissy and yells at the manager about something really minor. I get that sometimes things are to be fixed, but if your able to go to the store and buy a pizza then i would think that you should be pretty happy with your life. Too few people see life this way. But remember, I'm pulling for you, were all in this together.
